Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On October 11, 2011, Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (the Company) and its wholly-owned subsidiary
Gibraltar Steel Corporation of New York (GSCNY), as borrowers, entered into the Fourth Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement with a syndicate of ten banks led by KeyBank National Association,
JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A., M&T Bank, RBS Citizens, National Association, and
HSBC Bank USA, National Association (the Fourth Amendment and
Restatement). The Fourth Amendment
and Restatement amends and restates the Companys existing credit facility.
The Fourth Amendment and Restatement provides for a revolving credit facility and letters of credit
in an aggregate amount that does not exceed the lessor of (i) $200 million and (ii) a borrowing
base determined by reference to the trade receivables, inventories, and property, plant, and
equipment of the Companys significant domestic subsidiaries. The Fourth Amendment and Restatement
provides the Company with more flexibility by allowing for the Company to request additional
financing from the banks to increase the revolving credit facility to $250 million. As of October
11, 2011, the Company did not have any amounts outstanding under its
revolving credit facility. The Fourth Amendment and Restatement also provides the Company with the opportunity to enter into a
term loan in the principal amount of $35 million subject to
conditions set forth in the Fourth Amendment and Restatement.
Only one
financial covenant is contained with the Fourth Amendment and
Restatement, which requires the
Company to maintain a fixed charge ratio (as defined with the Fourth Amendment and
Restatement) of 1.25 to 1.00 or higher. Interest rates on the revolving credit facility and term
loan will continue to be based on the London Interbank Offering Rate (LIBOR) plus an additional
margin of 2.0% to 2.5% on the revolving credit facility and 3.0% to 3.5% on the term loan. In
addition to the foregoing, the revolving credit facility is subject to an annual commitment fee
calculated as 0.375% of the daily average undrawn balance of the revolving credit facility.
The terms of the Fourth Amendment and Restatement provide that the revolving credit facility is
scheduled to terminate on the earlier of October 16, 2016 or six months prior to the maturity date
of the Companys 8% Senior Subordinated Notes. As of October 31, 2011, the maturity date of the Companys revolving
credit facility is June 8, 2015, six months prior to the maturity of the Companys 8% Senior
Subordinated Notes. All revolving credit borrowings must be repaid on or before the maturity date.
The term loan would be payable in quarterly installments and mature three years after the term
loan funding date on which date the outstanding balance of the term loan is payable in full.
Borrowings under the Fourth Amendment and Restatement are secured by trade receivables, inventory,
personal property, equipment, and certain real property of the Companys significant domestic
subsidiaries. The Fourth Amendment and Restatement is guaranteed by each of the Companys
significant domestic subsidiaries.
The Fourth Amendment and Restatement contains numerous affirmative and negative covenants and
events of default which should be reviewed for a complete understanding of the Fourth Amendment and
Restatement.
3
The foregoing description of the Fourth Amendment and Restatement does not purport to be complete,
and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Fourth Amendment and
Restatement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference.
The
Fourth Amendment and Restatement has been filed to provide investors
and security holders with information regarding its terms,
provisions, conditions, and covenants and is not intended to provide
any other factual information respecting the Company or its
subsidiaries. In particular the Fourth Amendment and Restatement
contains representations and warranties made to and solely for the
benefit of the parties thereto, allocating among themselves various
risks of the transaction. The assertions embodied in those
representations and warranties may be qualified or modified by
information in disclosure schedules that the parties have exchanged
in connection with executing the Fourth Amendment and Restatement.
Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the
representations and warranties may change after the date of this
document, which subsequent information may or may not be fully
reflected in the Companys public disclosures. Accordingly,
investors and security holders should not rely on the representations
and warranties in these documents as characterizations of the actual
state of any fact or facts.
Item 8.01 Other Events
A copy of
the Companys October 13, 2011 press release announcing the execution of the Fourth
Amendment and Restatement is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by
reference.
The information in this Form 8-K under the captions Items 1.01, 8.01, and 9.01, including the
Release, shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the Exchange Act) or otherwise subject to liabilities under that Section and shall not be
deemed to be incorporated by reference into any filing of the Company under the Securities Act of
1933 (the Securities Act) or the Exchange Act, unless the Company specifically incorporates it by
reference in a document filed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act.

withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not the Revolving Credit Commitment shall
have been reduced or terminated. The Borrowers irrevocably authorize and instruct the
Administrative Agent to apply the proceeds of any borrowing pursuant to this Section
2.2(b)(v) to reimburse, in full (other than such Fronting Lenders pro rata share of such
borrowing), such Fronting Lender for the amount drawn on such Letter of Credit. Each such
Revolving Loan shall be deemed to be a Base Rate Loan unless otherwise requested by and
available to the Borrowers hereunder. Each Revolving Lender is hereby authorized to record
on its records relating to its Revolving Credit Note (or, if such Lender has not requested a
Revolving Credit Note, its records relating to Revolving Loans) such Revolving Lenders pro
rata share of the amounts paid and not reimbursed on the Letters of Credit.
(vi) Participation in Letters of Credit. If, for any reason, the
Administrative Agent (and the applicable Fronting Lender if such Fronting Lender is a Lender
other than the Administrative Agent) shall be unable to or, in the opinion of the
Administrative Agent, it shall be impracticable to, convert any amount drawn under a Letter
of Credit to a Revolving Loan pursuant to the preceding subsection, or if the amount not
reimbursed is a Letter of Credit drawn in an Alternate Currency, the Administrative Agent
(and such Fronting Lender if the Fronting Lender is a Lender other than the Administrative
Agent) shall have the right to request that each Revolving Lender fund a participation in
the amount due (or the Dollar Equivalent with respect to a Letter of Credit in an Alternate
Currency) with respect to such Letter of Credit, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Revolving Lender thereof (by facsimile or electronic communication, in each case
confirmed by telephone, or by telephone confirmed in writing). Upon such notice, but
without further action, such Fronting Lender hereby agrees to grant to each Revolving
Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby agrees to acquire from such Fronting Lender, an
undivided participation interest in the amount due with respect to such Letter of Credit in
an amount equal to such Revolving Lenders Applicable Commitment Percentage of the principal
amount due with respect to such Letter of Credit. In consideration and in furtherance of
the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon
receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of
such Fronting Lender, such Revolving Lenders ratable share of the amount due with respect
to such Letter of Credit (determined in accordance with such Revolving Lenders Applicable
Commitment
48
Percentage). Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire
participations in the amount due under any Letter of Credit that is drawn but not reimbursed
by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.2(b)(vi) shall be absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the
occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and that each such payment
shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or
reduction whatsoever and whether or not the Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been
reduced or terminated. Each Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this
Section 2.2(b)(vi) by wire transfer of immediately available funds (in Dollars, and in the
case of a Letter of Credit issued and drawn in an Alternate Currency, the Dollar Equivalent
for amounts drawn in such Alternate Currency), in the same manner as provided in Section 2.6
hereof with respect to Revolving Loans. Each Revolving Lender is hereby authorized to
record on its records such Revolving Lenders pro rata share of the amounts paid and not
reimbursed on the Letters of Credit.
(vii) Existing Letters of Credit. Schedule 2.2 hereto contains a
description of all letters of credit (including the Bond Letter of Credit) outstanding on,
and to continue in effect after, the Closing Date (each, an Existing Letter of Credit).
Each Existing Letter of Credit was issued by a Fronting Lender as a Letter of Credit under
one of the Prior Credit Agreements and constitutes a Letter of Credit for all purposes
under this Agreement.
(viii) Auto-Renewal Letters of Credit. If the Administrative Borrower so
requests, a Letter of Credit shall have an automatic renewal provision; provided that any
Letter of Credit that has an automatic renewal provision must permit the Administrative
Agent (or the applicable Fronting Lender if such Fronting Lender is a Lender other than the
Administrative Agent) to prevent any such renewal by giving prior notice to the beneficiary
thereof not later than thirty (30) days prior to the renewal date of such Letter of Credit.
Once any such Letter of Credit that has automatic renewal provisions has been issued, the
Revolving Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the
Administrative Agent (and such Fronting Lender) to permit at any time the renewal of such
Letter of Credit to an expiry date not later than one year after the last day of the
Commitment Period.
(ix) Letters of Credit Outstanding Beyond the Commitment Period. If any Letter
of Credit is outstanding upon the termination of the Commitment, then, upon such
termination, the Borrowers shall deposit with the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of
the Fronting Lender, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit, either cash or a
Supporting Letter of Credit, which, in each case, is (A) in an amount equal to one hundred
five percent (105%) of the undrawn amount of the outstanding Letters of Credit, and (B) free
and clear of all rights and claims of third parties. The cash shall be deposited in an
escrow account at a financial institution designated by the applicable Fronting Lender.
Such Fronting Lender shall be entitled to withdraw (with respect to the cash) or draw (with
respect to the Supporting Letter of Credit) amounts necessary to reimburse such Fronting
Lender for payments to be made under the Letters of Credit and
any fees and expenses associated with such Letters of Credit, or incurred pursuant to the
reimbursement agreements with respect to such Letters of Credit. The Borrowers shall also
execute such documentation as the Administrative Agent or the applicable Fronting Lender may
reasonably require in connection with the survival of the Letters of Credit beyond the
Commitment or this Agreement. After expiration of all undrawn Letters of Credit, the
Supporting Letter of Credit or the remainder of the cash, as the case may be, shall promptly
be returned to the Administrative Borrower.
49
(x) Requests for Letters of Credit When One or More Revolving Lenders are Affected
Lenders. No Letter of Credit shall be requested or issued hereunder if any Revolving
Lender is at such time an Affected Lender hereunder, unless the Administrative Agent (and
the applicable Fronting Lender) has entered into satisfactory (to the Administrative Agent)
arrangements with the Borrowers or such Affected Lender to eliminate or mitigate the
reimbursement risk with respect to such Affected Lender (including, without limitation, the
posting of cash collateral).
(xi) Letters of Credit Issued and Outstanding When One or More Revolving Lenders
are Affected Lenders. With respect to any Letters of Credit that have been issued and
are outstanding at the time any Revolving Lender is an Affected Lender, the Administrative
Agent (and the applicable Fronting Lender) shall have the right to require that the
Borrowers or such Affected Lender cash collateralize, in form and substance satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent (and the applicable Fronting Lender), such Letters of Credit so as
to eliminate or mitigate the reimbursement risk with respect to such Affected Lender.
(c) Swing Loans.
(i) Generally. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, during
the Commitment Period, the Swing Line Lender shall make a Swing Loan or Swing Loans to the
Borrowers in such amount or amounts as the Administrative Borrower, through an Authorized
Officer, may from time to time request and to which the Swing Line Lender may agree;
provided that the Administrative Borrower shall not request any Swing Loan if, after giving
effect thereto, (A) the Revolving Credit Exposure would exceed the Revolving Credit
Commitment, or (B) the Swing Line Exposure would exceed the Swing Line Commitment. Each
Swing Loan shall be due and payable on the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto.
Each Swing Loan shall be made in Dollars.
(ii) Refunding of Swing Loans. If the Swing Line Lender so elects, by giving
notice to the Administrative Borrower and the Revolving Lenders, the Borrowers agree that
the Swing Line Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to require that the then
outstanding Swing Loans be refinanced as a Revolving Loan. Such Revolving Loan shall be a
Base Rate Loan unless otherwise requested by and available to the Borrowers hereunder. Upon
receipt of such notice by the Administrative Borrower and the Revolving Lenders, the
Borrowers shall be deemed, on such day, to have requested a Revolving Loan in the principal
50
amount
of the Swing Loan in accordance with Sections 2.2(a) and 2.6 hereof (other than the requirement set forth in Section 2.6(d) hereof). Such
Revolving Loan shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes (or, if a Revolving Lender
has not requested a Revolving Credit Note, by the records of the Administrative Agent and
such Revolving Lender). Each Revolving Lender agrees to make a Revolving Loan on the date
of such notice, subject to no conditions precedent whatsoever. Each Revolving Lender
acknowledges and agrees that such Revolving Lenders obligation to make a Revolving Loan
pursuant to Section 2.2(a) hereof when required by this Section 2.2(c)(ii) is absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without
limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a Default or Event of Default, and that its
payment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Swing Line Lender, of the
proceeds of such Revolving Loan shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment,
counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not the Revolving Credit
Commitment shall have been reduced or terminated. The Borrowers irrevocably authorize and
instruct the Administrative Agent to apply the proceeds of any borrowing pursuant to this
Section 2.2(c)(ii) to repay in full such Swing Loan. Each Revolving Lender is hereby
authorized to record on its records relating to its Revolving Credit Note (or, if such
Revolving Lender has not requested a Revolving Credit Note, its records relating to
Revolving Loans) such Revolving Lenders pro rata share of the amounts paid to refund such
Swing Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, during a Cash Dominion Period, the then
outstanding Swing Loans shall be refinanced as Revolving Loans as often as the
Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, but in no event later than
11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) on each Wednesday (or the next Business Day if such Wednesday is
not a Business Day) (each a Settlement Date).
(iii) Participation in Swing Loans. If, for any reason, the Swing Line Lender
is unable to or, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, it is impracticable to, convert
any Swing Loan to a Revolving Loan pursuant to the preceding Section 2.2(c)(ii), then on any
day that a Swing Loan is outstanding (whether before or after the maturity thereof), the
Administrative Agent shall have the right to request that each Revolving Lender fund a
participation in such Swing Loan, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each
Revolving Lender thereof (by facsimile or electronic communication, in each case confirmed
by telephone, or by telephone confirmed in writing). Upon such notice, but without further
action, the Swing Line Lender hereby agrees to grant to each Revolving Lender, and each
Revolving Lender hereby agrees to acquire from the Swing Line Lender, an undivided
participation interest in the right to share in the payment of such Swing Loan in an amount
equal to such Revolving Lenders Applicable Commitment Percentage of the principal amount of
such Swing Loan. In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving
Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon receipt of notice as provided
above, to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender, such
Revolving Lenders ratable share of such Swing Loan (determined in accordance with such
Revolving Lenders Applicable Commitment Percentage). Each Revolving Lender acknowledges
and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swing Loans pursuant to this
Section 2.2(c)(iii) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, the occurrence and continuance
of a Default or an Event of Default, and that each such payment shall be made without any
offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether
or not the Revolving Credit Commitment shall have been reduced or terminated. Each
Revolving Lender shall comply with its obligation under this Section 2.2(c)(iii) by wire
transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 2.6
hereof with respect to Revolving Loans to be made by such Revolving Lender.
51
(iv) Requests for Swing Loan When One or More Revolving Lenders are Affected
Lenders. No Swing Loan shall be requested or issued hereunder if any Revolving Lender
is at such time an Affected Lender hereunder, unless the Administrative Agent has entered
into satisfactory (to the Administrative Agent and the Swing Line Lender) arrangements with
the Borrowers or such Affected Lender to eliminate or mitigate the reimbursement risk with
respect to such Affected Lender (including, without limitation, the posting of cash
collateral).
(v) Swing Loans Outstanding When One or More Revolving Lenders are Affected
Lenders. With respect to any Swing Loans that are outstanding at the time any Revolving
Lender is an Affected Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the right to require that
the Borrowers or such Affected Lender cash collateralize, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent, such Swing Loans so as to eliminate or mitigate the
reimbursement risk with respect to such Affected Lender.
Section 2.3. Term Loan Commitment. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, the Term Lenders shall make the Term Loan to the Borrowers on the Term Loan Funding
Date, in the amount of the Term Loan Commitment. The Term Loan shall be payable in eleven (11)
consecutive quarterly installments of Two Million Nine Hundred Sixteen Thousand Six Hundred
Sixty-Six and 67/100 Dollars ($2,916,666.67), commencing on the First Term Loan Principal Payment
Date, and continuing on each Regularly Scheduled Payment Date thereafter, with the balance thereof
payable in full on the Term Loan Maturity Date. The Administrative Borrower shall notify the
Administrative Agent, in accordance with the notice provisions of Section 2.6 hereof, whether the
Term Loan will be a Base Rate Loan or one or more Eurodollar Loans. The Term Loan may be a mixture
of a Base Rate Loan and one or more Eurodollar Loans. Once the Term Loan is made, any portion of
the Term Loan repaid may not be re-borrowed; provided that, if the Term Loan Funding Date fails to
occur on or before one hundred eighty (180) days after the Closing Date, the commitment of the Term
Lenders to make the Term Loan to the Borrowers shall terminate, and the Term Lenders shall have no
further obligations under the Credit Agreement to make the Term Loan.
Section 2.4. Interest.
(a) Revolving Loans.
(i) Base Rate Loan. The Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid principal
amount of a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan outstanding from time to time from the
date thereof until paid at the Derived Base Rate for Revolving Loans from time to
time in effect. Interest on such Base Rate Loan shall be payable, commencing December 31,
2011, and continuing on each Regularly Scheduled Payment Date thereafter and at the maturity
thereof.
52
(ii) Eurodollar Loans. The Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid
principal amount of each Revolving Loan that is a Eurodollar Loan outstanding from time to
time, fixed in advance on the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto through
the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto (but subject to changes in the
Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans), at the Derived Eurodollar Rate for Revolving Loans.
Interest on such Eurodollar Loan shall be payable on each Interest Adjustment Date with
respect to an Interest Period (provided that, if an Interest Period shall exceed three
months, the interest must also be paid every three months, commencing three months from the
beginning of such Interest Period).
(iii) Alternate Currency Loans. The Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid
principal amount of each Revolving Loan that is an Alternate Currency Loan outstanding from
time to time, fixed in advance on the first day of the Interest Period applicable thereto
(but subject to changes in the Applicable Margin for Alternate Currency Loans) through the
last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, at the Derived Alternate Currency Rate.
Interest on such Alternate Currency Loan shall be payable on each Interest Adjustment Date
with respect to an Interest Period (provided that, if an Interest Period shall exceed three
months, the interest must also be paid every three months, commencing three months from the
beginning of such Interest Period).
(b) Swing Loans. The Borrowers shall pay interest to the Administrative Agent, for
the sole benefit of the Swing Line Lender (and any Revolving Lender that shall have funded a
participation in such Swing Loan), on the unpaid principal amount of each Swing Loan outstanding
from time to time from the date thereof until paid at the Derived Base Rate for Revolving Loans
from time to time in effect. Interest on Swing Loans shall be payable on each Regularly Scheduled
Payment Date. Each Swing Loan shall bear interest for a minimum of one day.
(c) Term Loan.
(i) Base Rate Loan. With respect to any portion of the Term Loan that is a
Base Rate Loan, the Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof
outstanding from time to time from the date thereof until paid, commencing December 31,
2011, and continuing on each Regularly Scheduled Payment Date thereafter and at the maturity
thereof, at the Derived Base Rate for the Term Loan from time to time in effect.
(ii) Eurodollar Loans. With respect to any portion of the Term Loan that is a
Eurodollar Loan, the Borrowers shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of such
Eurodollar Loan outstanding from time to time, fixed in advance on the first day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto through the last day of the Interest Period applicable
thereto (but subject to changes in the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Loans), at the
Derived Eurodollar Rate for the Term Loan. Interest on such Eurodollar Loan shall be
payable on each Interest Adjustment Date with respect to an Interest Period (provided that,
if an Interest Period shall exceed three months, the interest must also be paid every three
months, commencing three months from the beginning of such Interest Period).
53
(d) Default Rate. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if an Event of
Default shall occur, upon the election of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders (i) the
principal of each Loan and the unpaid interest thereon shall bear interest, until paid, at the
Default Rate, (ii) the fee for the aggregate undrawn amount of all issued and outstanding Letters
of Credit shall be increased by two percent (2%) in excess of the rate otherwise applicable
thereto, and (iii) in the case of any other amount not paid when due from the Borrowers hereunder
or under any other Loan Document, such amount shall bear interest at the Default Rate; provided
that, during an Event of Default under Section 8.1 or 8.12 hereof, the applicable Default Rate
shall apply without any election or action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
(e) Limitation on Interest. In no event shall the rate of interest hereunder exceed
the maximum rate allowable by law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan
Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the
maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable law (the Maximum Rate). If the
Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum
Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such
unpaid principal, refunded to the Administrative Borrower for distribution to the Borrowers, as
appropriate. In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the
Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or
premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (iii)
amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest
throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations.
Section 2.5. Evidence of Indebtedness.
(a) Revolving Loans. Upon the request of a Revolving Lender, to evidence the
obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender and to pay
interest thereon, the Borrowers shall execute a Revolving Credit Note, payable to the order of such
Revolving Lender in the principal amount equal to its Applicable Commitment Percentage of the
Revolving Amount, or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Revolving Loans made by
such Revolving Lender; provided that the failure of a Revolving Lender to request a Revolving
Credit Note shall in no way detract from the Borrowers obligations to such Revolving Lender
hereunder.
(b) Swing Loans. Upon the request of the Swing Line Lender, to evidence the
obligation of the Borrowers to repay the Swing Loans and to pay interest thereon, the Borrowers
shall execute a Swing Line Note, payable to the order of the Swing Line Lender in the principal
amount of the Swing Line Commitment, or, if less, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
Swing Loans made by the Swing Line Lender; provided that the failure of the Swing Line Lender to
request a Swing Line Note shall in no way detract from the Borrowers obligations to the Swing Line
Lender hereunder.
54
(c) Term Loan. Upon the request of a Term Lender, to evidence the obligation of the
Borrowers to repay the portion of the Term Loan made by such Term Lender and to pay interest
thereon, the Borrowers shall execute a Term Note, payable to the order of such Term Lender in the
principal amount of its Applicable Commitment Percentage of the Term Loan Commitment; provided that
the failure of such Term Lender to request a Term Note shall in no way detract from Borrowers
obligations to such Term Lender hereunder.
Section 2.6. Notice of Loans and Credit Events; Funding of Loans.
(a) Notice of Loans and Credit Events. The Administrative Borrower, through an
Authorized Officer, shall provide to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Loan prior to (i) 11:00
A.M. (Eastern time) on the proposed date of borrowing of, or conversion of a Loan to, a Base Rate
Loan, (ii) 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) three Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing
of, continuation of, or conversion of a Loan to, a Eurodollar Loan, (iii) 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time)
three Business Days prior to the proposed date of borrowing of an Alternate Currency Loan, and (iv)
2:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on the proposed date of borrowing of a Swing Loan (or such later time as
agreed to from time to time by the Swing Line Lender); provided that, during a Cash Dominion
Period, if a request for a Revolving Loan that is a Base Rate Loan shall not be on a Settlement
Date, such request shall be deemed to be a request for a Swing Loan (unless the Administrative
Agent shall elect to have the Revolving Lenders fund such request with a Revolving Loan that meets
the requirements of this Section 2.6) so long as the Swing Line Exposure does not exceed the Swing
Line Commitment. An Authorized Officer of the Administrative Borrower may verbally request a Loan,
so long as a Notice of Loan is received by the end of the same Business Day, and, if the
Administrative Agent or any Lender provides funds or initiates funding based upon such verbal
request, the Borrowers shall bear the risk with respect to any information regarding such funding
that is later determined to have been incorrect. The Borrowers shall comply with the notice
provisions set forth in Section 2.2(b) hereof with respect to Letters of Credit.
(b) Funding of Loans. The Administrative Agent shall notify the appropriate Lenders
of the date, amount, type of currency and Interest Period (if applicable) promptly upon the receipt
of a Notice of Loan (other than for a Swing Loan, or a Revolving Loan to be funded as a Swing
Loan), and, in any event, by 2:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on the date such Notice of Loan is received.
On the date that the Credit Event set forth in such Notice of Loan is to occur, each such Revolving
Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent, not later than 3:00 P.M. (Eastern time), the
amount in Dollars, or, with respect to an Alternate Currency, in the applicable Alternate Currency,
in federal or other immediately available funds, required of it. If the Administrative Agent shall
elect to advance the proceeds of such Loan prior to receiving funds from such Revolving Lender, the
Administrative Agent shall have the right, upon prior notice to the Administrative Borrower, to
debit any account of a Credit Party or otherwise receive such amount from the Borrowers, promptly
after demand, in the event that such Revolving Lender
shall fail to reimburse the Administrative Agent in accordance with this subsection (b). The
Administrative Agent shall also have the right to receive interest from such Revolving Lender at
the Federal Funds Effective Rate in the event that such Revolving Lender shall fail to provide its
portion of the Loan on the date requested and the Administrative Agent shall elect to provide such
funds.
55
(c) Conversion and Continuation of Loans.
(i) At the request of the Administrative Borrower to the Administrative Agent, subject
to the notice and other provisions of this Agreement, the appropriate Lenders shall convert
a Base Rate Loan to one or more Eurodollar Loans at any time and shall convert a Eurodollar
Loan to a Base Rate Loan on any Interest Adjustment Date applicable thereto. Swing Loans
may be converted by the Swing Line Lender to Revolving Loans in accordance with Section
2.2(c)(ii) hereof. No Alternate Currency Loan may be converted to a Base Rate Loan or
Eurodollar Loan and no Base Rate Loan or Eurodollar Loan may be converted to an Alternate
Currency Loan.
(ii) At the request of the Administrative Borrower to the Administrative Agent, subject
to the notice and other provisions of this Agreement, the appropriate Lenders shall continue
one or more Eurodollar Loans as of the end of the applicable Interest Period as a new
Eurodollar Loan with a new Interest Period.
(d) Minimum Amount for Loans. Each request for:
(i) a LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan shall be in an amount (or, with respect to an Alternate
Currency Loan, such approximately comparable amount as shall result in an amount rounded to
the nearest whole number) of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), increased by
increments of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (or, with respect to an Alternate Currency
Loan, such approximately comparable amount as shall result in an amount rounded to the
nearest whole number);
(ii) a Base Rate Loan shall be in an amount of not less than One Million Dollars
($1,000,000), increased by increments of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), provided that,
during a Cash Dominion Period, there shall be no minimum amount for Base Rate Loans; and
(iii) a Swing Loan shall be in an amount of not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
($500,000), or such lower amount as may be agreed to by the Swing Line Lender, provided
that, during a Cash Dominion Period, there shall be no minimum amount for Swing Loans.
(e) Interest Periods. The Administrative Borrower shall not request that LIBOR Fixed
Rate Loans be outstanding for more than eight different Interest Periods at the same time, or such
higher number of Interest Periods as agreed to in writing by the Administrative Agent.
56
(f) Advancing of Non Pro-Rata Revolving Loans. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, if the Borrowers request a Revolving Loan pursuant to Section 2.6(a)
hereof (and all conditions precedent set forth in Section 4.1 hereof are met) at a time when one or
more Revolving Lenders are Defaulting Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall have the option, in
its sole discretion, to require the non-Defaulting Lenders to honor such request by making a non
pro-rata Revolving Loan to the Borrowers in an amount equal to (i) the amount requested by the
Administrative Borrower, minus (ii) the portions of such Revolving Loan that should have been made
by such Defaulting Lenders. For purposes of such Revolving Loans, the Revolving Lenders that are
making such Revolving Loan shall do so in the amount of their Applicable Commitment Percentages of
the amount requested by the Borrowers. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of Loans made by a Lender (other than Swing Loans made by the Swing
Line Lender), when combined with such Lenders pro rata share, if any, of the Letter of Credit
Exposure and the Swing Line Exposure, be in excess of the Maximum Amount for such Lender.
Section 2.7. Payment on Loans and Other Obligations.
(a) Payments Generally. Each payment made hereunder by a Credit Party shall be made
without any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever.
(b) Payments in Alternate Currency. With respect to any Alternate Currency Loan, all
payments (including prepayments) to any Lender of the principal of or interest on such Alternate
Currency Loan shall be made in the same Alternate Currency as the original Loan. For
clarification, the amount outstanding on any Alternate Currency Loan for purposes of repayment on
the last day of the applicable Interest Period shall be measured in the Alternate Currency and not
by the Dollar Equivalent of such amount. With respect to any Letter of Credit issued in an
Alternate Currency, all payments to the Fronting Lender (and to any Lender that shall have funded
its participation in such Letter of Credit) shall be made in Dollars in the Dollar Equivalent (as
determined on the date and at the time of drawing of such Letter of Credit) of the amount of such
Letter of Credit. All such payments shall be remitted by the Borrowers to the Administrative
Agent, at the address of the Administrative Agent for notices referred to in Section 12.4 hereof
(or at such other office or account as designated in writing by the Administrative Agent to the
Administrative Borrower), for the account of the Revolving Lenders (or the appropriate Fronting
Lender or the Swing Line Lender, as appropriate) not later than 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) on the
due date thereof in same day funds. Any such payments received by the Administrative Agent after
11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) shall be deemed to have been made and received on the next Business Day.
(c) Payments in Dollars from Borrowers. With respect to (i) any Loan (other than an
Alternate Currency Loan), or (ii) any other payment to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
that shall not be covered by subsection (b) above, all such payments (including prepayments) to the
Administrative Agent of the principal of or interest on such Loan or other payment, including but
not limited to principal, interest, fees or any other amount owed by the Borrowers under this
Agreement, shall be made in Dollars. All payments described in this subsection (c) shall be
remitted to the Administrative Agent, at the address of the Administrative Agent for notices
referred to in Section 12.4 hereof for the account of the appropriate Lenders (or the appropriate
Fronting Lender or the Swing Line Lender, as appropriate) not later than 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time)
on the due date thereof in immediately available funds. Any such payments received by the
Administrative Agent (or such Fronting Lender or the Swing Line Lender) after 11:00 A.M. (Eastern
time) shall be deemed to have been made and received on the next Business Day.
57
(d) Payments to Lenders. Upon the Administrative Agents receipt of payments
hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall immediately distribute to the appropriate Lenders (except
with respect to Swing Loans, which shall be paid to the Swing Line Lender and any Lender that has
funded a participation in the Swing Loans, or, with respect to Letters of Credit, certain of which
payments shall be paid to the Fronting Lender issuing such Letter of Credit) their respective
ratable shares, if any, of the amount of principal, interest, and commitment and other fees
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, during a Cash Dominion Period, the Administrative Agent shall distribute payments
received hereunder on each Settlement Date as set forth in Section 2.17(d) hereof (and more
frequently if deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent). Payments received by the
Administrative Agent in Dollars shall be delivered to the Lenders in Dollars in immediately
available funds. Payments received by the Administrative Agent in any Alternate Currency shall be
delivered to the Lenders in such Alternate Currency in same day funds. Each appropriate Lender
shall record any principal, interest or other payment, the principal amounts of Base Rate Loans,
LIBOR Fixed Rate Loans and Swing Loans, and Letters of Credit, the type of currency for each Loan,
all prepayments and the applicable dates, including Interest Periods, with respect to the Loans
made, and payments received by such Lender, by such method as such Lender may generally employ;
provided that failure to make any such entry shall in no way detract from the obligations of the
Borrowers under this Agreement or any Note. The aggregate unpaid amount of Loans, types of Loans,
Interest Periods and similar information with respect to the Loans and Letters of Credit set forth
on the records of the Administrative Agent shall be rebuttably presumptive evidence with respect to
such information, including the amounts of principal, interest and fees owing to each Lender.
(e) Timing of Payments. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder, including, without
limitation, any payment to be made on any Loan, shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a
Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next Business Day and such extension of time shall
in each case be included in the computation of the interest payable on such Loan; provided that,
with respect to a LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan, if the next Business Day shall fall in the succeeding
calendar month, such payment shall be made on the preceding Business Day and the relevant Interest
Period shall be adjusted accordingly.
(f) Affected Lender. To the extent that the Administrative Agent receives any
payments or other amounts for the account of a Revolving Lender that is an Affected Lender, at the
discretion of the Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender shall be deemed to have requested that
the Administrative Agent use such payment or other amount (or any portion thereof, at the
discretion of the Administrative Agent) first, to cash collateralize its unfunded risk
participation in Swing Loans and the Letters of Credit pursuant to Sections 2.2(b)(vi),
2.2(c)(iii),
and 2.6(b) hereof, and, with respect to any Defaulting Lender, second, to fulfill its obligations
to make Loans.
(g) Payment of Non Pro-Rata Revolving Loans. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, in order to pay
Revolving Loans made to Borrowers that were not advanced pro rata by the Revolving Lenders, any
payment of any Loan may first be applied to such Revolving Loans of the Borrowers that were not
advanced pro rata.
58
Section 2.8. Prepayment.
(a) Right to Prepay.
(i) The Borrowers shall have the right at any time or from time to time to prepay, on a
pro rata basis for all of the appropriate Lenders (except with respect to Swing Loans, which
shall be paid to the Swing Line Lender and any Lender that has funded a participation in
such Swing Loan), all or any part of the principal amount of the Loans then outstanding, as
designated by the Administrative Borrower, representing the obligations under any Specific
Commitment with the proceeds of such prepayment to be distributed on a pro rata basis to the
holders of the Specific Commitment being prepaid. Such payment shall include interest
accrued on the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment and any amount payable under
Article III hereof with respect to the amount being prepaid. Prepayments of Base Rate Loans
shall be without any premium or penalty. Each prepayment of a Term Loan shall be applied to
the principal installments thereof in the inverse order of their respective maturities.
(ii) The Borrowers shall have the right, at any time or from time to time, to prepay,
for the benefit of the Swing Line Lender (and any Lender that has funded a participation in
such Swing Loan), all or any part of the principal amount of the Swing Loans then
outstanding, as designated by the Administrative Borrower, plus interest accrued on the
amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.8 or otherwise to the contrary, at the
discretion of the Administrative Agent, in order to prepay Revolving Loans that were not
advanced pro rata by all of the Revolving Lenders, any prepayment of a Loan shall first be
applied to Revolving Loans made by the Revolving Lenders during any period in which a
Defaulting Lender or Insolvent Lender shall exist.
(b) Notice of Prepayment. The Administrative Borrower shall give the Administrative
Agent irrevocable written notice of prepayment of (i) a Base Rate Loan or Swing Loan by no later
than 11:00 A.M. (Eastern time) one Business Day before the Business Day on which such prepayment is
to be made, and (ii) a LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan by no later than 1:00 P.M. (Eastern time) three
Business Days before the Business Day on which such prepayment is to be made; provided that this
notice requirement shall not be applicable, during a Cash Dominion Period, with respect to the
daily application of funds in the Cash Collateral Account to prepay the Loans.
(c) Minimum Amount. Each prepayment of a LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan shall be in the
principal amount of not less than the lesser of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), or the principal
amount of such Loan (or, with respect to an Alternate Currency Loan, the Dollar Equivalent (rounded
to a comparable amount) of such amount), or, with respect to a Swing Loan, the principal balance of
such Swing Loan, except in the case of a mandatory payment pursuant to Section 2.12 or Article III
hereof.
59
Section 2.9. Commitment and Other Fees.
(a) Commitment Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
ratable account of the Revolving Lenders, as a consideration for the Revolving Credit Commitment, a
commitment fee from the Closing Date to and including the last day of the Commitment Period,
payable quarterly, at a rate per annum equal to (i) thirty-seven and one-half (37.50) basis points,
multiplied by (ii) (A) the average daily Revolving Amount in effect during such quarter, minus (B)
the average daily Revolving Credit Exposure (exclusive of the Swing Line Exposure) during such
quarter. The commitment fee shall be payable in arrears, on December 31, 2011 and continuing on
each Regularly Scheduled Payment Date thereafter, and on the last day of the Commitment Period.
(b) Ticking Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable
account of the Term Lenders, as a consideration for the Term Loan Commitment, a ticking fee from
the Closing Date to and including the earlier of (i) the Term Loan Funding Date or (ii) April 10,
2012, at a rate per annum equal to (A) for the period from the Closing Date to January 10, 2012,
thirty-seven and one-half (37.50) basis points, multiplied by the Term Loan Commitment, and (B) for
the period from January 11, 2012 through April 10, 2012, fifty (50.00) basis points, multiplied by
the Term Loan Commitment. The term loan commitment fee shall be payable on December 31, 2011 and
continuing on each Regularly Scheduled Payment Date thereafter and on the earlier of (1) the Term
Loan Funding Date, and (2) April 10, 2012.
(c) Administrative Agent Fee. The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent,
for its sole benefit, the fees set forth in the Administrative Agent Fee Letter.
(d) Collateral Audit and Appraisal Fees. The Borrowers shall promptly reimburse the
Administrative Agent, for its sole benefit, for all costs and expenses relating to any collateral
assessment that may be conducted from time to time by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, the
scope and frequency of which shall be in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent; provided
that, absent an Event of Default, the Borrowers need not reimburse the Administrative Agent for
more than (i) three collateral field audits during a calendar year, or (ii) one Inventory appraisal
during a calendar year. The estimated costs and expenses for field audits and appraisals performed
by the Administrative Agent during the absence of an Event of Default shall be as set forth in the
Administrative Agent Fee Letter.
(e) Authorization to Debit Account. Each Credit Party hereby agrees that the
Administrative Agent has the right to debit from any Deposit Account of one or more Credit
Parties, amounts owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by any Borrower under this
Agreement and the Loan Documents for payment of fees, expenses and other amounts incurred or owing
in connection therewith.
60
Section 2.10. Modifications to Commitment.
(a) Optional Reduction of Revolving Credit Commitment. The Administrative Borrower
may at any time and from time to time permanently reduce in whole or ratably in part the Revolving
Amount to an amount not less than the then existing Revolving Credit Exposure, by giving the
Administrative Agent not fewer than five Business Days (or thirty (30) days if the Total
Commitment Amount is to be reduced or terminated in its entirety) written notice of such reduction,
provided that any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount, for all of the Lenders,
of not less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), increased in increments of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000). The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Lender of the date of
each such reduction and such Revolving Lenders proportionate share thereof. After each such
partial reduction, the commitment fees payable hereunder shall be calculated upon the Revolving
Amount as so reduced. If the Borrowers reduce in whole the Revolving Credit Commitment, on the
effective date of such reduction (the Borrowers having prepaid in full the unpaid principal
balance, if any, of the Loans, together with all interest (if any) and commitment and other fees
accrued and unpaid with respect thereto, and provided that no Letter of Credit Exposure or Swing
Line Exposure shall exist), all of the Revolving Credit Notes shall be delivered to the
Administrative Agent marked Canceled and the Administrative Agent shall redeliver such Revolving
Credit Notes to the Administrative Borrower. Any partial reduction in the Revolving Amount shall
be effective during the remainder of the Commitment Period. Upon each decrease of the Revolving
Amount, the Maximum Revolving Amount and the Total Commitment Amount shall be proportionally
decreased.
(b) Increase in Commitment.
(i) At any time during the Commitment Increase Period, the Administrative Borrower may
request that the Administrative Agent increase the Revolving Amount from the Closing
Revolving Amount up to an amount that shall not exceed the Maximum Revolving Amount. Each
such request for an increase shall be in an amount of at least Twenty-Five Million Dollars
($25,000,000) (increased by increments of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)), or such lesser
amount that shall cause the Revolving Amount to increase up to the Maximum Revolving Amount,
and may be made by either (A) increasing, for one or more Revolving Lenders, with their
prior written consent, their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, or (B) including one
or more Additional Lenders, each with a new commitment under the Revolving Credit
Commitment, as a party to this Agreement (each an Additional Commitment and, collectively,
the Additional Commitments).
(ii) During the Commitment Increase Period, all of the Lenders agree that the
Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may permit one or more Additional Commitments
upon satisfaction of the following requirements: (A) each Additional
Lender, if any, shall execute an Additional Lender Assumption Agreement, (B) the
Administrative Agent shall provide to the Administrative Borrower and each Lender a revised
Schedule 1 to this Agreement, including revised Applicable Commitment Percentages
for each of the Revolving Lenders with respect to the Revolving Credit Commitment, if
appropriate, at least three Business Days prior to the date of the effectiveness of such
Additional Commitments (each an Additional Lender Assumption Effective Date), (C) the
Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders
such replacement or additional Revolving Credit Notes as shall be required by the
Administrative Agent (and requested by the Lenders); and (D) the Borrowers shall, on the
Additional Lender Assumption Effective Date, deliver to the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the Lenders, an opinion of counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, indicating that the Obligations incurred pursuant to the Additional
Commitments are permitted to be incurred, and permitted to be secured, pursuant to the
Subordinated Indenture (or any replacement indenture or similar document). The Lenders
hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to execute each Additional Lender Assumption
Agreement on behalf of the Lenders.
61
(iii) On each Additional Lender Assumption Effective Date, the Revolving Lenders shall
make adjustments among themselves with respect to the Revolving Loans then outstanding and
amounts of principal, interest, commitment fees and other amounts paid or payable with
respect thereto as shall be necessary, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, in order
to reallocate among such Revolving Lenders such outstanding amounts, based on the revised
Applicable Commitment Percentages and to otherwise carry out fully the intent and terms of
this Section 2.10(b) (and the appropriate Borrower shall pay to the Revolving Lenders any
amounts that would be payable pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof if such adjustments among the
Revolving Lenders would cause a prepayment of one or more LIBOR Fixed Rate Loans). In
connection therewith, it is understood and agreed that the Maximum Amount of any Lender will
not be increased (or decreased except pursuant to subsection (a) hereof) without the prior
written consent of such Lender. The Administrative Borrower shall not request any increase
in the Revolving Amount pursuant to this subsection (b) if a Default or an Event of Default
shall then exist, or, after giving pro forma effect to any such increase, would exist. Upon
each increase of the Revolving Amount, the Total Commitment Amount shall be increased by a
like amount.
Section 2.11. Computation of Interest and Fees. With the exception of Base Rate
Loans, interest on Loans, Letter of Credit fees, Related Expenses and commitment and other fees and
charges hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year having three hundred sixty (360) days
and calculated for the actual number of days elapsed. With respect to Base Rate Loans, interest
shall be computed on the basis of a year having three hundred sixty-five (365) days or three
hundred sixty-six (366) days, as the case may be, and calculated for the actual number of days
elapsed.
Section 2.12. Mandatory Payments.
(a) Revolving Credit Exposure. If, at any time, the Revolving Credit Exposure shall
exceed the Revolving Credit Commitment, the Borrowers shall, as promptly as practicable, but in no
event later than the next Business Day, pay an aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans
sufficient to bring the Revolving Credit Exposure within the Revolving Credit Commitment.
(b) Swing Line Exposure. If, at any time, the Swing Line Exposure shall exceed the
Swing Line Commitment, the Borrowers shall, as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than
the next Business Day, pay an aggregate principal amount of the Swing Loans sufficient to bring the
Swing Line Exposure within the Swing Line Commitment.
62
(c) Mandatory Prepayments. The Borrowers shall make Mandatory Prepayments (each a
Mandatory Prepayment) in accordance with the following provisions:
(i) Excess Cash Flow. The Borrowers shall, on a date mutually agreeable to the
Administrative Agent and the Administrative Borrower, but in no event later than March 31 of
each year, until the Term Loan shall have been paid in full, make a prepayment on the Term
Loan in an amount not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the Excess Cash Flow for the
most recently completed fiscal year (commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31,
2012), if any.
(ii) Sale of Assets. If, during any fiscal year of Gibraltar, the Companies
have received cumulative Net Cash Proceeds of at least Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000)
during such fiscal year from one or more Asset Dispositions made pursuant to Section 5.12
hereof, not later than three Business Days following the date of receipt of any Cash
Proceeds in excess of such amount, Borrowers shall make a Mandatory Prepayment in an amount
equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds then received in excess of such
amount from any Asset Disposition.
(iii) Additional Indebtedness. Not later than the Business Day following the
date of the receipt by any Credit Party of the cash proceeds (net of underwriting discounts
and commissions, placement agent fees and other customary fees and costs associated
therewith) from any sale or issuance of any Indebtedness (other than Subordinated
Indebtedness incurred pursuant to an Acquisition and as permitted by Section 5.8(j) hereof)
incurred pursuant to Section 5.8(g), (h), (i) or (j) hereof, Borrowers shall make a
Mandatory Prepayment in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such net cash
proceeds.
(iv) Recovery Event. If, during any fiscal year of Gibraltar, any Credit Party
shall have received cumulative Cash Proceeds during such fiscal year from one or more
Recovery Events equal to more than five percent (5%) of Consolidated Net Worth, not later
than the third Business Day following the date of receipt of any Cash Proceeds in excess of
such amount, the Borrowers will make a Mandatory Prepayment of the Term Loan with an amount
equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the Net Cash Proceeds then received in excess of such
amount from any Recovery Event; provided that if (A) no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, and (B) the Administrative
Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in writing that it intends to
rebuild or restore the affected property and that such rebuilding or restoration can be
accomplished within two hundred seventy (270) days out of such Cash Proceeds and other funds
available to the Borrowers, then no such Mandatory Prepayment shall be required if the
Borrowers actually use such Cash Proceeds for application to the costs of rebuilding or
restoration of the affected property within such two hundred seventy (270) day period. Any
amounts not so applied to the costs of rebuilding or restoration within such two hundred
seventy (270) day period shall be applied to the Mandatory Prepayment of the Term Loan as
provided above.
63
(d) Application of Mandatory Prepayments.
(i) Involving a Company Prior to an Event of Default. So long as no Event of
Default shall have occurred, each Mandatory Prepayment required to be made pursuant to
subsection (c) hereof shall be applied (A) first, to the Term Loan, until paid in full
(provided that any Term Lender may decline to accept its pro rata share of such Mandatory
Prepayment, in which case such Term Lenders share of such Mandatory Prepayment shall be
applied as set forth in subpart (B) hereof), and (B) second, to any outstanding Revolving
Loans; provided that any Mandatory Prepayment made prior to the Term Loan Funding Date shall
be applied to outstanding Revolving Loans unless the Required Lenders, in their sole
discretion, shall require such Mandatory Prepayment be applied to permanently reduce the
Term Loan Commitment.
(ii) Involving a Company After an Event of Default. If a Mandatory Prepayment
is required to be made pursuant to subsection (c) hereof at the time that an Event of
Default shall have occurred, then such Mandatory Prepayment shall be paid by the
Administrative Borrower to the Administrative Agent to be applied to the following, on a pro
rata basis among: (A) the Revolving Amount (with payments to be made in the following order:
Revolving Loans, Swing Loans, and to be held by the Administrative Agent in a special
account as security for any Letter of Credit Exposure pursuant to subsection (iii) hereof),
and (B) the unpaid principal balance of the Term Loan.
(iii) Involving Letters of Credit. Any amounts to be distributed for
application to a Revolving Lenders liabilities with respect to any Letter of Credit
Exposure as a result of a Mandatory Prepayment shall be held by the Administrative Agent in
an interest bearing trust account (the Special Trust Account) as collateral security for
such liabilities until a drawing on any Letter of Credit, at which time such amounts,
together with interest accrued thereon, shall be released by the Administrative Agent and
applied to such liabilities. If any such Letter of Credit shall expire without having been
drawn upon in full, the amounts held in the Special Trust Account with respect to the
undrawn portion of such Letter of Credit, together with interest accrued thereon, shall be
applied by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of subsections (i) and
(ii) above.
(e) Mandatory Payments Generally. Unless otherwise designated by the Administrative
Borrower, each Mandatory Prepayment made with respect to a Specific
Commitment pursuant to subsection (a) or (c) hereof shall be applied in the following order: (i)
first, to the outstanding Base Rate Loans, (ii) second, to the outstanding Eurodollar Loans, and
(iii) third, to the outstanding Alternate Currency Loans (or, at the discretion of the
Administrative Agent, to cash collateralize Alternate Currency Loans until the applicable Interest
Adjustment Date); provided that, in each case, if the outstanding principal amount of any LIBOR
Fixed Rate Loan shall be reduced to an amount less than the minimum amount set forth in Section
2.6(d) hereof as a result of such prepayment, then such LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan shall be converted
into a Base Rate Loan on the date of such prepayment. Any prepayment of a LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan or
Swing Loan pursuant to this Section 2.12 shall be subject to the prepayment provisions set forth in
Article III hereof. Each Mandatory Prepayment made with respect to the Term Loan shall be applied
to the payments of principal in the inverse order of maturities.
64
Section 2.13. Liability of Borrowers.
(a) Joint and Several Liability. Each Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative
Borrower or any other Borrower to request Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder. Each Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entering into this
Agreement at the request of each Borrower and with the understanding that each Borrower is and
shall remain fully liable, jointly and severally, for payment in full of the Obligations and any
other amount payable under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Each Borrower agrees that
it is receiving or will receive a direct pecuniary benefit for each Loan made or Letter of Credit
issued hereunder.
(b) Appointment of Administrative Borrower. Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably
appoints the Administrative Borrower as the borrowing agent and attorney-in-fact for all Credit
Parties, which appointment shall remain in full force and effect unless and until the
Administrative Agent shall have received prior written notice signed by each Credit Party that such
appointment has been revoked and that another Borrower has been appointed the Administrative
Borrower. Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Borrower
to (i) provide the Administrative Agent with all notices with respect to Loans and Letters of
Credit obtained for the benefit of any Borrower and all other notices and instructions under this
Agreement, (ii) take such action as the Administrative Borrower deems appropriate on its behalf to
obtain Loans and Letters of Credit, and (iii) exercise such other powers as are reasonably
incidental thereto to carry out the purposes of this Agreement. It is understood that the handling
of the Collateral of the Credit Parties in a combined fashion, as more fully set forth herein, is
done solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers in order to utilize the collective borrowing
powers of the Credit Parties in the most efficient and economical manner and at their request, and
that neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall incur liability to any Credit Party as a
result hereof. Each Credit Party expects to derive benefit, directly or indirectly, from the
handling of the Collateral in a combined fashion since the successful operation of each Credit
Party is dependent on the continued successful performance of the integrated group.
(c) Maximum Liability of GSCNY. Anything in this Agreement or any other Loan Document
to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the maximum liability of GSCNY
exceed the maximum amount that (after giving effect to the incurring of the obligations hereunder
and to any rights to contribution of GSCNY from other Affiliates of GSCNY) would not render the
rights to payment of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder void, voidable or avoidable
under any applicable fraudulent transfer law.
65
(d) Waivers of Each Borrower. In the event that any obligation of any Borrower under
this Agreement is deemed to be an agreement by such Borrower to answer for the debt or default of
another Credit Party or as an hypothecation of property as security therefor, each Borrower
represents and warrants that (i) no representation has been made to such Borrower as to the
creditworthiness of such other Credit Party, and (ii) such Borrower has established adequate means
of obtaining from such other Credit Party on a continuing basis, financial or other information
pertaining to such other Credit Partys financial condition. Each Borrower expressly waives,
except as expressly required under this Agreement, diligence, demand, presentment, protest and
notice of every kind and nature whatsoever, consents to the taking by the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders of any additional security of another Credit Party for the obligations secured hereby,
or the alteration or release in any manner of any security of another Credit Party now or hereafter
held in connection with the Obligations, and consents that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders
and any other Credit Party may deal with each other in connection with such obligations or
otherwise, or alter any contracts now or hereafter existing between them, in any manner whatsoever,
including without limitation the renewal, extension, acceleration or changes in time for payment of
any such obligations or in the terms or conditions of any security held. The Administrative Agent
and the Lenders are hereby expressly given the right, at their option, to proceed in the
enforcement of any of the Obligations independently of any other remedy or security they may at any
time hold in connection with such obligations secured and it shall not be necessary for the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders to proceed upon or against or exhaust any other security or
remedy before proceeding to enforce their rights against such Borrower. Each Borrower further
waives any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, setoff
or other recourse in respect of sums paid to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders by any other
Credit Party until such time as the Commitment has been terminated and the Secured Obligations have
been repaid in full.
Section 2.14. Establishment of Reserves.
(a) Generally. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall have the
right, from time to time, in the good faith exercise of its reasonable credit judgment (consistent
with the asset-based nature of this credit), to establish Reserves in such amounts and with respect
to such matters as the Administrative Agent deems necessary or appropriate, and to increase or
decrease such Reserves. In exercising such reasonable credit judgment, the Administrative Agent
may take into account factors that (i) will or could reasonably be expected to adversely affect the
value of any Collateral, the enforceability or priority of the Liens of the Administrative Agent or
the amount that the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, would be likely to
receive in the liquidation of such Collateral, or (ii) may demonstrate that any collateral report
or financial information concerning the Credit Parties is incomplete, inaccurate or misleading in
any material respect. In exercising such reasonable credit judgment, Reserves may be established
against anticipated obligations, contingencies or conditions affecting the
Companies, including, without limitation, (A) tax liabilities and other obligations owing to
Governmental Authorities, (B) asserted litigation liabilities, (C) anticipated remediation for
compliance with Environmental Laws, and (D) obligations owing to any lessor of real property, any
warehouseman, any processor or any mortgagor on third-party mortgaged sites. Reserves may also be
established with respect to the dilution of accounts receivable, as a result of inventory
appraisals and other results of field examinations.
66
(b) Reserve Requirements with Respect to Designated Hedge Agreements. With respect to
a Designated Hedge Agreement, the Designated Hedge Creditor for such Designated Hedge Agreement
shall provide to the Administrative Agent, (i) on a monthly basis (within five days after the end
of each calendar month) and as often as the Administrative Agent shall request, a calculation of
the net termination value of such Designated Hedge Agreement, and (ii) all Designated Hedge
Documents related thereto promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative
Agent shall use such calculation to establish Reserves against the Borrowing Base, in its
reasonable discretion; provided that the Administrative Agent shall have no liability to the
Lenders (or any of their affiliates) for establishing or failing to establish a sufficient Reserve.
Schedule 2.14 hereto sets forth the Designated Hedge Agreements existing as of the Closing
Date. The Credit Parties hereby consent to the Designated Hedge Creditors providing any and all
such information to the Administrative Agent.
Section 2.15. Addition of Collateral for Fixed Asset Advance. With respect to any
Equipment or Real Property that shall not be an Eligible Fixed Asset on the Closing Date, the
Borrowers shall have the ability to have such Equipment or Real Property be considered as an
Eligible Fixed Asset during the period from the Term Loan Funding Date through the date that is
sixty (60) days after the Term Loan Funding Date, on the following conditions:
(a) an appraisal report of such Equipment or Real Property is obtained prior to the
date that is sixty (60) days after the Term Loan Funding Date, provided that such appraisal
shall have been completed on behalf of, and accepted by, the Administrative Agent, in its
sole discretion;
(b) if Real Property, all of the conditions set forth in Section 4.3(g) hereof shall
have been met with respect to such Real Property prior to the date that is sixty (60) days
after the Term Loan Funding Date; and
(c) the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent such other
supporting documentation and Security Documents as may be deemed necessary or advisable by
the Administrative Agent;
provided that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if any Credit Party
shall sell or otherwise dispose of Eligible Fixed Assets that were part of the calculation of the
Eligible Fixed Asset Amount (for its most recent period of determination), then the Administrative
Agent may, in its sole discretion, permit Borrowers to replace such Eligible Fixed Assets with
Eligible Real Property not previously part of the Eligible Fixed Asset Amount, but only so long as
(i) the addition of such Eligible Real Property does not result in an increase of the
Eligible Fixed Asset Amount as in effect prior to such sale or disposition, and (ii) such Credit
Party shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent all documentation required by the
Administrative Agent with respect to such Eligible Real Property, in form and substance
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
Section 2.16. Addition of Borrowing Base Company. Upon the Acquisition by a Credit
Party of a Person that becomes a Domestic Subsidiary following such Acquisition, at the request of
the Administrative Borrower and at the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, such Domestic
Subsidiary may become a Borrowing Base Company hereunder, provided that, in addition to the
Administrative Agents consent, (a) such Domestic Subsidiary shall have complied with all
requirements of Section 5.21 hereof, (b) such Domestic Subsidiary shall have provided to the
Administrative Agent such corporate governance and authorization
67
documents and an opinion of
counsel and any other documents and items as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the
Administrative Agent, all of the foregoing to be in form and substance satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, and (c) the Accounts and Inventory of such Domestic Subsidiary shall not be
included in the determination of the Borrowing Base until the assets of such Domestic Subsidiary
shall have been appraised and otherwise evaluated (including by a field examination) in a manner
and by appraisers satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (provided that Accounts and Inventory of
the Target Company shall be included in the determination of the Borrowing Base immediately upon
the consummation of the Target Company Acquisition, but only for a period of sixty (60) days after
the consummation of the Target Company Acquisition (unless a longer period is agreed to by the
Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion) unless appropriate appraisals and field examinations
are conducted).
Section 2.17. Record of Advances; Application of Collections.
(a) Maintenance of Record of Advances. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the
Lenders, shall maintain records in respect of the Credit Parties that shall reflect (i) the
aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans and accrued interest, (ii) the
unreimbursed Letter of Credit drawings, (iii) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Swing
Loans and accrued interest, and (iv) all other Obligations that shall have become payable hereunder
(the Advance Record). Each entry by the Administrative Agent in the Advance Record shall be, to
the extent permitted by applicable law and absent manifest error, prima facie evidence of the data
entered. Such entries by the Administrative Agent shall not be a condition to the Borrowers
obligation to repay the Obligations.
(b) Charges, Credits and Reports. The Borrowers hereby authorize the Administrative
Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, to charge the Advance Record with all Revolving Loans, Swing Loans
and all other Obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Advance Record will
be credited in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement with all payments received by the
Administrative Agent directly from the Borrowers or any other Credit Party or otherwise for the
account of the Borrowers or any other Credit Party pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrative
Agent shall send the Administrative Borrower monthly statements in accordance with the
Administrative Agents standard procedures. Any
and all such periodic or other statements or reconciliations of the Advance Record shall be final,
binding and conclusive upon the Borrowers and the other Credit Party in all respects, absent
manifest error, unless the Administrative Agent receives specific written objection thereto from
the Administrative Borrower within thirty (30) Business Days after such statements or
reconciliation shall have been sent to the Administrative Borrower.
(c) Application of Specific Payments. Except for the crediting to the Advance Record
of Collections deposited to one or more Cash Collateral Accounts as provided below, the Borrowers
shall make all other payments to be made by the Borrowers under this Agreement with respect to the
Obligations not later than 2:00 P.M. (Eastern time) on the day when due, without setoff,
counterclaim, defense or deduction of any kind. Payments received after 2:00 P.M. (Eastern time)
shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day. Prior to the occurrence of an
Event of Default, the Administrative Borrower may specify to the Administrative Agent the
Obligations to which such payment is to be applied. If the Administrative Borrower does not
specify an application for such payment or if an Event of Default has occurred, the Administrative
Agent shall apply such payment in its discretion.
68
(d) Crediting of Collections. For the purpose of calculating interest on the
Obligations and determining the aggregate amount of Loans outstanding, the amount of the Revolving
Credit Exposure and the availability for additional Revolving Loans and Letters of Credit, all
Collections deposited into a Cash Collateral Account shall be credited to the account of the
Borrowers (as reflected in the Advance Record) on the next Business Day after the Business Day on
which the Administrative Agent has received notice of the deposit of the proceeds of such
Collections into such Cash Collateral Account (including automated clearinghouse and federal wire
transfers); provided that immediately available funds shall be applied on the same Business Day.
Subject to the rights of the Term Lenders to receive payments when due and of the Revolving Lenders
rights to receive payments of Alternate Currency Loans in the relevant Alternate Currency, and
subject to Section 9.9 hereof, Collections shall be credited as follows: (i) first, to any costs
and expenses due and payable under this Agreement, (ii) second, to any fees due and payable under
this Agreement, (iii) third, to Swing Loans, (iv) fourth, to Base Rate Loans, (v) fifth, to
Eurodollar Loans, (vi) sixth, to Alternate Currency Loans (or, at the discretion of the
Administrative Agent, to cash collateralize Alternate Currency Loans until the applicable Interest
Adjustment Date), (vii) seventh, to the extent that the Letter of Credit Exposure exceeds the
Borrowing Base, to cash collateralize the Letters of Credit as set forth in Section 2.2(b)(ix)
hereof, and (viii) eighth, any remainder thereof to be deposited into the Operating Account. If
Collections made on a date other than a Settlement Date are in excess of the aggregate amount of
Swing Loans outstanding, then such Collections may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent
depending on the amount of such payment, be credited towards the Swing Line Lenders pro rata share
of Revolving Loans outstanding until such payments can be reallocated among the Revolving Lenders
on the next Settlement Date. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.17 to the contrary, any
amount held by the Administrative Agent to cash collateralize Alternate Currency Loans pursuant to
subpart (vi) above shall be held in the Cash Collateral Accounts until repayment of such Alternate
Currency Loans at the applicable Interest Adjustment Dates. From time to time, upon advance
written notice to the Administrative Borrower, the Administrative Agent may adopt such additional
or modified regulations and procedures as the Administrative Agent may deem reasonable and
appropriate with respect to the operation of the Cash Collateral Accounts and not substantially
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement.
(e) Application of Deposits in Cash Collateral Accounts. Deposits of Collections to
the Cash Collateral Accounts shall be credited to the Advance Record of the Borrowers on a daily
basis in accordance with subsection (d) above, and thereby reduce the Swing Line Exposure or the
Revolving Credit Exposure (other than in respect of the undrawn amount of any Letter of Credit
outstanding) as the Administrative Agent may choose, in its sole discretion; provided that, prior
to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent will use reasonable efforts to
avoid applications of payments that would cause prepayment of a Eurodollar Loan or Alternate
Currency Loan prior to the expiration of the applicable Interest Period. Upon payment in full of
the Secured Obligations and the termination of the Commitment, deposits of Collections to the Cash
Collateral Accounts shall be credited by the Administrative Agent as directed by the Administrative
Borrower.
69
Section 2.18. Protective Advances. The Administrative Agent may, in its reasonable
discretion, make Protective Advances without the consent of the Lenders, so long as (a) after
giving effect to such Protective Advances, the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances
shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the Total Commitment Amount, and (b) the making of such
Protective Advances shall not cause the sum of (i) the Revolving Credit Exposure, (ii) the Term
Loan Exposure, and (iii) the aggregate amount of outstanding Protective Advances, to be in excess
of the Total Commitment Amount. A Protective Advance is for the account of the Borrowers and shall
constitute Obligations. Any such Protective Advances incurred after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default shall be deemed to have been made in connection with the
exercise of remedies by the Administrative Agent and shall have the priority set forth in Section
9.9 hereof as expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred in connection with the exercise of
remedies under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. To the extent the Administrative Agent
makes Protective Advances, the Borrowers hereby agree to promptly reimburse the Administrative
Agent, on demand, for all such Protective Advances. The advance of any such Protective Advances on
any one occasion shall not obligate the Administrative Agent to advance any Protective Advances on
any other occasion and nothing in this Section 2.18 shall be construed as excusing any Company from
the performance of any covenant or other agreement of such Company with respect to any of the
foregoing matters as set forth in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents. The
Revolving Lenders shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Protective Advances to the
extent that the Administrative Agent does not receive reimbursement pursuant to any other provision
of this Agreement, and, at the sole option of the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent
may reimburse itself for Protective Advances through the making of a Swing Loan or by requesting
that the Revolving Lenders fund a Revolving Loan, subject to no conditions precedent whatsoever
(but, for clarification, subject to the first sentence hereof) other than notice to the Revolving
Lenders in accordance with Section 2.6(a) hereof. The Required Lenders may at any time revoke the
Administrative Agents authorization to make Protective Advances by delivering written notice of
such revocation to the Administrative Agent.
ARTICLE III. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS RELATING TO
LIBOR FIXED RATE LOANS; INCREASED CAPITAL; TAXES
Section 3.1. Requirements of Law.
(a) If, after the Closing Date, (i) the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or
in the interpretation or application thereof by a Governmental Authority, or (ii) the compliance by
any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central
bank or other Governmental Authority:
(A) shall subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this
Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis
of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Taxes and Excluded
Taxes which are governed by Section 3.2 hereof);
70
(B) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory
loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for
the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition
of funds by, any office of such Lender that is not otherwise included in the determination
of the Eurodollar Rate or the Alternate Currency Rate; or
(C) shall impose on such Lender any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting
into, continuing or maintaining LIBOR Fixed Rate Loans or issuing or participating in Letters of
Credit, or to reduce any amount receivable hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case,
the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender, promptly after receipt of a written request therefor, any
additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduced amount
receivable. If any Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this
subsection (a), such Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled.
(b) If any Lender shall have determined that, after the Closing Date, the adoption of or any
change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application
thereof by a Governmental Authority or compliance by such Lender or any corporation controlling
such Lender with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the
force of law) from any Governmental Authority shall have the effect of reducing the rate of return
on such Lenders or such corporations capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder, or
under or in respect of any Letter of Credit, to a level below that which such Lender or such
corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into
consideration the policies of such Lender or such corporation with respect to capital adequacy),
then from time to time, upon submission by such Lender to the Administrative Borrower (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent) of a written request therefor
(which shall include the method for calculating such amount), the Borrowers shall promptly pay or
cause to be paid to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
such corporation for such reduction.
(c) For purposes of this Section 3.1, the Dodd-Frank Act, any requests, rules, guidelines or
directives concerning capital adequacy promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, or
the Basel Committee on Banking Regulations and Supervisory Practices (or any successor or similar
authority) under Basel III, and any rules, regulations, orders, requests, guidelines and directives
adopted, promulgated or implemented in connection with any of the foregoing, regardless of the date
adopted, issued, promulgated or implemented, are deemed to have been introduced and adopted after
the Closing Date.
(d) A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.1 submitted
by any Lender to the Administrative Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. In determining any such additional amounts, such Lender may use
any method of averaging and attribution that it (in its sole discretion) shall deem applicable.
The obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 3.1 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
71
Section 3.2. Taxes.
(a) All payments made by any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made free and clear
of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of any Taxes or Other Taxes. If any
Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be deducted or withheld from any amounts payable to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder, the amounts so payable to the Administrative Agent or
such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent or such
Lender (after deducting, withholding and payment of all Taxes and Other Taxes) interest or any such
other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in the Loan Documents.
(b) Whenever any Taxes or Other Taxes are required to be withheld and paid by a Credit Party,
such Credit Party shall timely withhold and pay such taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authorities. As promptly as possible thereafter, the Borrowers shall send to the Administrative
Agent for its own account or for the account of the relevant Lender, as the case may be, a
certified copy of an original official receipt received by such Credit Party showing payment
thereof or other evidence of payment reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent or such
Lender. If such Credit Party shall fail to pay any Taxes or Other Taxes when due to the
appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required
receipts or other required documentary evidence, such Credit Party and the Borrowers shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent and the appropriate Lenders on demand for any incremental Taxes
or Other Taxes paid or payable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender as a result of any such
failure.
(c) Each Lender that is not (i) a citizen or resident of the United States of America, (ii) a
corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the
United States of America (or any jurisdiction thereof), or (iii) an estate or trust that is subject
to federal income taxation regardless of the source of its income (any such Person, a Non-U.S.
Lender) shall deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent two copies of
either U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, Form W-8IMY or Form W-8ECI, or, in the case of a
Non-U.S. Lender claiming exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax under Section 871(h) or 881(c)
of the Code with respect to payments of portfolio interest, a statement with respect to such
interest and two copies of a Form W-8BEN, or any subsequent versions thereof or successors thereto,
properly completed and duly executed by such Non-U.S. Lender claiming complete exemption from, or a
reduced rate of, U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments by Credit Parties under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Such forms shall be delivered by each Non-U.S. Lender on
or before the date it becomes a party to this Agreement or such other Loan Document. In addition,
each Non-U.S. Lender shall deliver such forms or appropriate replacements promptly upon the
obsolescence or invalidity of any form previously delivered by such Non-U.S. Lender. Each Non-U.S.
Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Borrower at any time it determines that such Lender
is no longer in a position to provide any previously delivered certificate to the Administrative
Borrower (or any other form of certification adopted by the U.S. taxing authorities for such
purpose). Notwithstanding any other provision of this subsection (c), a Non-U.S. Lender shall not
be required to deliver any form pursuant to this subsection (c) that such Non-U.S. Lender is not
legally able to deliver.
72
(d) The agreements in this Section 3.2 shall survive the termination of the Loan Documents and
the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Section 3.3. Funding Losses. The Borrowers agree to indemnify each Lender, promptly
after receipt of a written request therefor, and to hold each Lender harmless from, any loss or
expense that such Lender may sustain or incur as a consequence of (a) default by a Borrower in
making a borrowing of, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Fixed Rate Loans after such
Borrower has given a notice (including a written or verbal notice that is subsequently revoked)
requesting the same in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) default by a Borrower
in making any prepayment of or conversion from LIBOR Fixed Rate Loans after such Borrower has given
a notice (including a written or verbal notice that is subsequently revoked) thereof in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement, (c) the making of a prepayment of a LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan on
a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto, (d) any conversion of a
Eurodollar Loan to a Base Rate Loan on a day that is not the last day of an Interest Period
applicable thereto, or (e) any compulsory assignment of such Lenders interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement pursuant to Section 12.3(c) or 12.12 hereof. Such indemnification
shall be in an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest that would have
accrued on the amounts so prepaid, or not so borrowed, converted or continued, for the period from
the date of such prepayment or of such failure to borrow, convert or continue to the last day of
such Interest Period (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the Interest
Period that would have commenced on the date of such failure) in each case at the applicable rate
of interest for such Loans provided for herein over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably
determined by such Lender) that would have accrued to such Lender on such amount by placing such
amount on deposit for a comparable period with leading banks in the appropriate London interbank
market, along with any administration fee charged by such Lender. A certificate as to any
amounts payable pursuant to this Section 3.3 submitted to the Administrative Borrower (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent) by any Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The
obligations of the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 3.3 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder.
Section 3.4. Change of Lending Office. Each Lender agrees that, upon the occurrence
of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 3.1 or 3.2(a) hereof with respect to such
Lender, it will, if requested by the Administrative Borrower, use reasonable efforts (subject to
overall policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office (or an affiliate
of such Lender, if practical for such Lender) for any Loans affected by such event with the object
of avoiding the consequences of such event; provided, that such designation is made on terms that,
in the sole judgment of such Lender, cause such Lender and its lending office(s) to suffer no
economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage; and provided, further, that nothing in this Section 3.4
shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of any Borrower or the rights of any Lender
pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2(a) hereof.
73
Section 3.5. Eurodollar Rate or Alternate Currency Rate Lending Unlawful; Inability to
Determine Rate.
(a) If any Lender shall determine (which determination shall, upon notice thereof to the
Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent, be conclusive and binding on the Borrowers)
that, after the Closing Date, (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of
any law makes it unlawful, or (ii) any Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such
Lender to make or continue any Loan as, or to convert (if permitted pursuant to this Agreement) any
Loan into, a LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan, the obligations of such Lender to make, continue or convert any
such LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan shall, upon such determination, be suspended until such Lender shall
notify the Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and
all outstanding LIBOR Fixed Rate Loans payable to such Lender shall automatically convert (if
conversion is permitted under this Agreement) into a Base Rate Loan, or be repaid (if no conversion
is permitted) at the end of the then current Interest Periods with respect thereto or sooner, if
required by law or such assertion.
(b) If the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate
and reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate or Alternate Currency Rate
for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan, or that the
Eurodollar Rate or Alternate Currency Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect to a
proposed LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of
funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Administrative Borrower and
each Lender. Thereafter, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain such LIBOR Fixed Rate
Loan shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required
Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Administrative Borrower may revoke
any pending request for a borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of such LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan
or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a borrowing of a
Base Rate Loan in the amount specified therein.
Section 3.6. Replacement of Lenders. The Administrative Borrower shall be permitted
to replace any Lender that requests reimbursement for amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.1 or
3.2(a) hereof, or asserts its inability to make a LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan pursuant to Section 3.5
hereof; provided that (a) such replacement does not conflict with any Requirement of Law, (b) no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such replacement,
(c) prior to any such replacement, such Lender shall have taken no action under Section 3.4 hereof
so as to eliminate the continued need for payment of amounts owing pursuant to Section 3.1 or
3.2(a) hereof or, if it has taken any action, such request has still been made, (d) the replacement
financial institution shall purchase, at par, all Loans and other amounts owing to such replaced
Lender on or prior to the date of replacement and assume all commitments and obligations of such
replaced Lender, (e) the Borrowers shall be liable to such replaced Lender under Section 3.3 hereof
if any LIBOR Fixed Rate Loan owing to such replaced Lender shall be purchased other than on the
last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, (f) the replacement Lender, if not already a
Lender, shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, (g) the replaced Lender shall be
obligated to make such replacement in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.10 hereof
(provided that the Borrowers (or the succeeding Lender, if such Lender is willing) shall be
obligated to pay the assignment fee referred to therein), and (h) until such time as such
replacement shall be consummated, the Borrowers shall pay all additional amounts (if any) required
pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2(a) hereof, as the case may be.
74
Section 3.7. Discretion of Lenders as to Manner of Funding. Notwithstanding any
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, each Lender shall be entitled to fund and maintain its
funding of all or any part of such Lenders Loans in any manner such Lender deems to be
appropriate; it being understood, however, that for the purposes of this Agreement all
determinations hereunder shall be made as if such Lender had actually funded and maintained each
Eurodollar Loan or Alternate Currency Loan during the applicable Interest Period for such Loan
through the purchase of deposits having a maturity corresponding to such Interest Period and
bearing an interest rate equal to the Eurodollar Rate or Alternate Currency Rate, as applicable,
for such Interest Period.

Administrative Agent and the Lenders may have pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, upon written
request of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, whenever made, the Borrowers shall,
and shall cause each Guarantor of Payment to, grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit
of the Lenders, as additional security for the Secured Obligations, a first Lien on any real or
personal property of each Borrower and Guarantor of Payment (other than for leased equipment or
equipment subject to a purchase money security interest in which the lessor or purchase money
lender of such equipment holds a first priority security interest, in which case, the
Administrative Agent shall have the right to obtain a security interest junior only to such lessor
or purchase money lender), including,
104
without
limitation, such property acquired subsequent to the Closing Date, in which the Administrative Agent does not have a first priority
Lien. The Borrowers agree, within ten days after the date of such written request, to secure all
of the Secured Obligations by delivering to the Administrative Agent security agreements,
intellectual property security agreements, pledge agreements, mortgages (or deeds of trust, if
applicable) or other documents, instruments or agreements or such thereof as the Administrative

recordation, legal and other expenses in connection therewith.
Section 5.25. Restrictive Agreements. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the
Borrowers shall not, and shall not permit any of their Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly,
enter into, incur or permit to exist or become effective, any negative pledge covenant or other
agreement, restriction or arrangement that prohibits, restricts or imposes any condition upon (a)
the ability of any Borrower or any Subsidiary to create, incur or suffer to exist any Lien upon any
of its property or assets as security for Indebtedness, or (b) the ability of any such Subsidiary
to make Capital Distributions or any other interest or participation in its profits owned by the
Borrowers or any Subsidiary, or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Borrowers or a Subsidiary, or to
make loans or advances to the Borrowers or any Subsidiaries, or transfer any of its property or
assets to the Borrowers or any Subsidiaries; except for such encumbrances or restrictions existing

assignment of any lease governing a leasehold interest, (iii) customary provisions restricting
assignment of any licensing agreement entered into in the ordinary course of business, (iv)

permitted under Section 5.9(f) hereof, (v) customary restrictions affecting only a Subsidiary under
any agreement or instrument governing any of the Indebtedness of a Subsidiary permitted pursuant to
Section 5.8 hereof, (vi) restrictions affecting any Foreign Subsidiary under any agreement or
instrument governing any Indebtedness of such Foreign Subsidiary permitted pursuant to Section 5.8
hereof, and customary restrictions contained in comfort letters and guarantees of any such
Indebtedness, (vii) any document relating to Indebtedness secured by a Lien permitted by Section
5.9 hereof, insofar as the provisions thereof limit grants of junior liens on the assets securing
such Indebtedness, (viii) restrictions contained in the Subordinated Indenture relating to any
Indebtedness permitted under Section 5.8(g) hereof, and (ix) any Operating Lease or Capital Lease,
insofar as the provisions thereof limit grants of a security interest in, or other assignments of,
the related leasehold interest to any other Person.
Section 5.26. Most Favored Covenant Status. If any Credit Party at any time enters
into, or shall have entered into, or modifies any Material Indebtedness Agreement such that such
Material Indebtedness Agreement includes affirmative or negative covenants (or any events of
default or other type of restriction that would have the practical effect of any affirmative or
negative business or financial covenant, including, without limitation, any put or mandatory
prepayment of such Indebtedness upon the occurrence of a change of control) that are applicable
to any Credit Party, other than those set forth herein or in any of the other Loan Documents, the
Administrative Borrower shall promptly so notify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and, if
the Administrative Agent shall so request by written notice to the Administrative Borrower (after a
determination has been made by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders that such Material
Indebtedness Agreement contains any such provisions that either individually or in the aggregate
105
are
more favorable to the holders of such Indebtedness than any of the provisions set forth herein), the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the
Required Lenders shall promptly amend this Agreement to incorporate some or all of such provisions,
in the discretion of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, into this Agreement and, to
the extent necessary and reasonably desirable to the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders,
into any of the other Loan Documents, all at the election of the Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders.
Section 5.27. Pari Passu Ranking. The Obligations shall, and the Borrowers shall
take all necessary action to ensure that the Obligations shall, at all times, rank at least pari

Section 5.28. Guaranty Under Material Indebtedness Agreement. No Company shall be or
become a primary obligor or Guarantor of the Indebtedness incurred pursuant to the Subordinated
Indenture or any other Material Indebtedness Agreement unless such Company shall also be a
Guarantor of Payment under this Agreement prior to or concurrently therewith.
Section 5.29. Amendments to Material Indebtedness Agreements. No Company shall
amend, restate, supplement or otherwise modify the Subordinated Indenture or any other Material
Indebtedness Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent if any such
amendment, restatement, supplement or other modification would, in the opinion of the
Administrative Agent, materially impact the rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders hereunder.
Section 5.30. Prepayments and Refinancings of Other Debt. After the Closing Date, no
Company will make (or give any notice in respect thereof) any voluntary or optional payment or
prepayment or redemption or acquisition for value of (including, without limitation, by way of
depositing with the trustee with respect thereto money or securities before due for the purpose of
paying when due) or exchange of, or refinance or refund, any Indebtedness of any Company that has
an outstanding principal balance (or Capitalized Lease Obligation, in the case of a Capital Lease,
or present value, based on the implicit interest rate, in the case of a Synthetic Lease) greater
than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) (other than the Obligations and intercompany loans and
advances among the Companies); provided that a Company may refinance or refund any such
Indebtedness if the aggregate principal amount thereof (or Capitalized Lease Obligation, in the
case of a Capital Lease, or present value, based on the implicit interest rate, in the case of a
Synthetic Lease) is not increased.
Section 5.31. Amendment of Organizational Documents. Without the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent, no Credit Party shall (a) amend its Organizational Documents

Credit Party to, promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent, or the Required Lenders through
the Administrative Agent, (a) correct any material defect or error that may be discovered in any
Loan Document or in the execution, acknowledgment, filing or recordation thereof, and (b) do,
execute, acknowledge, deliver, record, re-record, file, re-file, register and re-register any and
all such further acts, deeds, certificates, assurances and other instruments as the Administrative
Agent, or the Required Lenders through the Administrative Agent, may reasonably require from time
to time in order to carry out more effectively the purposes of the Loan Documents.

Schedule 6.1 hereto, and is duly qualified and authorized to do business and is in good

Non-Material Subsidiary), its state (or jurisdiction) of formation, its relationship to Gibraltar,

board of directors or other governing body, as applicable, and are the valid and binding
obligations of such Credit Party, enforceable against such Credit Party in accordance with their
respective terms, except as enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium and similar laws and by equitable principles, whether considered at law
or in equity. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents do not conflict with,
result in a breach in any of the provisions of, constitute a default under, or result in the
creation of a Lien (other than Liens permitted under Section 5.9 hereof) upon any assets or
property of any Company under the provisions of, such Companys Organizational Documents or any
material agreement to which such Company is a party.
107
Section 6.3. Compliance with Laws and Contracts. Each Company:
(a) holds permits, certificates, licenses, orders, registrations, franchises, authorizations,
and other approvals from any Governmental Authority necessary for the conduct of its business and
is in compliance with all applicable laws relating thereto, except where the failure to do so would
not have a Material Adverse Effect;
(b) is in compliance with all federal, state, local, or foreign applicable statutes, rules,
regulations, and orders including, without limitation, those relating to environmental protection,
occupational safety and health, and equal employment practices, except where the failure to be in

which its assets are subject or bound, except with respect to any violation or default that would
not have a Material Adverse Effect;

other proceedings pending or, to the knowledge of the Companies, threatened against any Company, or
in respect of which any Company may have any liability, in any court or before or by any
Governmental Authority, arbitration board, or other tribunal that could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect, (b) no orders, writs, injunctions, judgments, or decrees of any
court or Governmental Authority to which any Company is a party or by which the property or assets
of any Company are bound that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and
(c) no grievances, disputes, or controversies outstanding with any union or other organization of
the employees of any Company, or threats of work stoppage, strike, or pending demands for
collective bargaining, that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 6.5. Title to Assets. Each Company has good title to and ownership of all
material property it purports to own, which property is free and clear of all Liens, except those
permitted under Section 5.9 hereof. As of the Closing Date, the Companies own the real estate

Statement or similar notice of Lien outstanding covering any personal property of any Company; (b)

taking such other actions necessary to perfect its Lien against Collateral of the corresponding
type as authorized hereunder will have a valid and enforceable first Lien on the Collateral to the
extent such Lien may be perfected by the filing of a U.C.C. Financing Statement. No Company has

connection with the purchase or lease of fixed assets that prohibits Liens on such fixed assets, or
(ii) any agreement with a restriction that is not enforceable under Section 9-406, 9-407 or 9-408
of the U.C.C.) that exists on or after the Closing Date that would prohibit the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders from acquiring a Lien on, or a collateral assignment of, any of the property
or assets of any Company.

required by law to be filed in respect of the income, business, properties and employees of each
Company have been filed (or extended or challenged as permitted by applicable law) and all taxes,
assessments, fees and other governmental charges that are due and payable have been paid, except as
will not cause or result in a Material Adverse Effect. The provision for taxes on the books of
each Company is adequate for all years not closed by applicable statutes and for the current fiscal
year.
Section 6.8. Environmental Laws. Each Company is in material compliance with all
Environmental Laws, including, without limitation, all Environmental Laws in all jurisdictions in
which any Company owns or operates, or has owned or operated, a facility or site, arranges or has
arranged for disposal or treatment of hazardous substances, solid waste or other wastes, accepts or
has accepted for transport any hazardous substances, solid waste or other wastes or holds or has
held any interest in real property or otherwise. No litigation or proceeding arising under,
relating to or in connection with any Environmental Law or Environmental Permit is pending or, to
the best knowledge of each Company, threatened, against any Company, any real property in which any
Company holds or has held an interest or any past or present operation of any Company. No material
release, threatened (to its knowledge) release or disposal of hazardous waste, solid waste or other
wastes is occurring, or has occurred (other than those that are currently being remediated in
accordance with Environmental Laws), on, under or to any real property in which any Company holds
any interest or performs any of its operations, in violation of any Environmental Law. As used in
this Section 6.8, litigation or proceeding means any demand, claim, notice, suit, suit in equity,
action, administrative action, investigation or inquiry whether brought by any Governmental
Authority or private Person, or otherwise.
Section 6.9. Locations. As of the Closing Date, the Credit Parties have places of
business or maintain their Accounts, Inventory and Equipment at the locations (including third
party locations) set forth on Schedule 6.9 hereto, and each Credit Partys chief executive
office is set forth on Schedule 6.9 hereto. Schedule 6.9 hereto further specifies
whether each location, as

third party, and, if leased by a Credit Party from a third party, if a Landlords Waiver has been
requested. As of the Closing Date, Schedule 6.9 hereto correctly identifies the name and
address of each third party location where assets of the Credit Parties are located.
109
Section 6.10. Continued Business. There exists no actual, pending, or, to each
Borrowers knowledge, any threatened termination, cancellation or limitation of, or any
modification or change in the business relationship of any Company and any customer or supplier, or
any group of customers or suppliers, whose purchases or supplies, individually or in the aggregate,
are material to the business of any Company, and there exists no present condition or state of
facts or circumstances that would have a Material Adverse Effect or prevent a Company from
conducting such business or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in substantially the
same manner in which it was previously conducted.
Section 6.11. Employee Benefits Plans.
(a) US Employee Benefit Plans. Schedule 6.11 hereto identifies each material
ERISA Plan as of the Closing Date. No ERISA Event has occurred or is expected to occur with
respect to an ERISA Plan. Full payment has been made of all amounts that a Controlled Group member
is required, under applicable law or under the governing documents, to have paid as a contribution
to or a benefit under each ERISA Plan. The liability of each Controlled Group member with respect
to each ERISA Plan has been fully funded based upon reasonable and proper actuarial assumptions,
has been fully insured, or has been fully reserved for on its financial statements. No changes
have occurred or are expected to occur that would cause a material increase in the cost of
providing benefits under the ERISA Plan. With respect to each ERISA Plan that is intended to be
qualified under Code Section 401(a), (i) the ERISA Plan and any associated trust operationally
comply, in all material respects, with the applicable requirements of Code Section 401(a); (ii) the
ERISA Plan and any associated trust have been amended to comply with all such requirements as
currently in effect, other than those requirements for which a retroactive amendment can be made
within the remedial amendment period available under Code Section 401(b) (as extended under
Treasury Regulations and other Treasury pronouncements upon which taxpayers may rely); (iii) the
ERISA Plan and any associated trust have received a favorable determination letter from the
Internal Revenue Service stating that the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(a), that the
associated trust qualifies under Code Section 501(a) and, if applicable, that any cash or deferred
arrangement under the ERISA Plan qualifies under Code Section 401(k), unless the ERISA Plan was
first adopted at a time for which the above-described remedial amendment period has not yet
expired; (iv) the ERISA Plan currently satisfies the requirements of Code Section 410(b), without
regard to any retroactive amendment that may be made within the above-described remedial amendment
period; and (v) no contribution made to the ERISA Plan is subject to an excise tax under Code
Section 4972. With respect to any Pension Plan, the accumulated benefit obligation of Controlled
Group members with respect to the Pension Plan (as determined in accordance with Statement of
Accounting Standards No. 87, Employers Accounting for Pensions) does not exceed the fair market
value of Pension Plan assets.
110
(b) Foreign Pension Plan and Benefit Plans. As of the Closing Date, Schedule
6.11 hereto lists all Foreign Benefit Plans and Foreign Pension Plans currently maintained or
contributed to by Gibraltar and any appropriate Foreign Subsidiaries. The Foreign Pension Plans
are duly registered under all applicable laws which require registration. Gibraltar and any
appropriate Foreign Subsidiaries have complied with and performed all of its obligations under and
in respect of the Foreign Pension Plans and Foreign Benefit Plans under the terms thereof, any
funding agreements and all applicable laws (including any fiduciary, funding, investment and
administration obligations) except to the extent as would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. All employer and employee payments, contributions or premiums to be
remitted, paid to or in respect of each Foreign Pension Plan or Foreign Benefit Plan have been paid
in a timely fashion in accordance with the terms thereof, any funding agreement and all applicable
laws except to the extent the failure to do so would not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. There are no outstanding actions or suits concerning the assets of the Foreign
Pension Plans or the Foreign Benefit Plans. Each of the Foreign Pension Plans is fully funded on
an ongoing basis as required by all laws applicable to such Foreign Pension Plans (using actuarial
methods and assumptions as of the date of the valuations last filed with the applicable
Governmental Authorities and that are consistent with generally accepted actuarial principles).
Section 6.12. Consents or Approvals. No consent, approval or authorization of, or
filing, registration or qualification with, any Governmental Authority or any other Person is
required to be obtained or completed by any Company in connection with the execution, delivery or
performance of any of the Loan Documents, that has not already been obtained or completed, except
the filing and recording of financing statements and other documents necessary in order to perfect
the Liens created by this Agreement or the Security Documents.
Section 6.13. Solvency. Each Borrower has received consideration that is the
reasonably equivalent value of the obligations and liabilities that such Borrower has incurred to
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. No Borrower is insolvent as defined in any applicable
state, federal or relevant foreign statute, nor will any Borrower be rendered insolvent by the
execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders. No
Borrower is engaged or about to engage in any business or transaction for which the assets retained
by it are or will be an unreasonably small amount of capital, taking into consideration the
obligations to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders incurred hereunder. No Borrower intends
to, nor does it believe that it will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they
mature.
Section 6.14. Financial Statements. The audited Consolidated financial statements of
Gibraltar, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2010 and the unaudited Consolidated financial
statements of Gibraltar for the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2011, furnished to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders, are true and complete, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, and
fairly present the financial condition of the Companies as of the dates of such financial
statements and the results of their operations for the periods then ending. Since the dates of
such statements, there has been no material adverse change in any Companys financial condition,
properties or business or any change in any Companys accounting procedures.
111
Section 6.15. Regulations. No Company is engaged principally or as one of its
important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying
any margin stock (within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System of the United States of America). Neither the granting of any Loan (or any
conversion thereof) or Letter of Credit nor the use of the proceeds of any Loan or Letter of Credit
will violate, or be inconsistent with, the provisions of Regulation T, U or X or any other
Regulation of such Board of Governors.
Section 6.16. Material Agreements. Except as disclosed on Schedule 6.16
hereto, as of the Closing Date, no Company is a party to any (a) debt instrument (excluding the
Loan Documents); (b) lease (capital, operating or otherwise), whether as lessee or lessor
thereunder; (c) contract, commitment, agreement, or other arrangement involving the purchase or
sale of any inventory by it, or the license of any right to or by it; (d) contract, commitment,
agreement, or other arrangement with any of its Affiliates (as such term is defined in the
Exchange Act) other than a Company; (e) management or employment contract or contract for personal
services with any of its Affiliates that is not otherwise terminable at will or on less than ninety
(90) days notice without liability; (f) collective bargaining agreement; or (g) other contract,
agreement, understanding, or arrangement with a third party; that, as to subsections (a) through
(g), above, if violated, breached, or terminated for any reason, would have or would be reasonably
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 6.17. Intellectual Property. Each Company owns, or has the right to use, all
of the material patents, patent applications, industrial designs, designs, trademarks, service
marks, copyrights and licenses, and rights with respect to the foregoing, necessary for the conduct
of its business without any known material conflict with the rights of others. Schedule
6.17 hereto sets forth all federally registered patents, trademarks, copyrights, service marks
and license agreements owned by each Company as of the Closing Date.
Section 6.18. Insurance. Each Company maintains with financially sound and reputable
insurers insurance with coverage and limits as required by law and as is customary with Persons
engaged in the same businesses as the Companies. Schedule 6.18 hereto sets forth all
insurance carried by the Companies on the Closing Date, setting forth in detail the amount and type
of such insurance.
Section 6.19. Deposit Accounts and Securities Accounts. The Administrative Borrower
has provided to the Administrative Agent a list of all banks, other financial institutions and
Securities Intermediaries at which any Credit Party maintains Deposit Accounts or Securities
Accounts as of the Closing Date, which list correctly identifies the name, address and telephone
number of each such financial institution or Securities Intermediary, the name in which the account
is held, a description of the purpose of the account, and the complete account number therefor.
Section 6.20. Accurate and Complete Statements. Neither the Loan Documents nor any
written statement made by any Company in connection with any of the Loan Documents contains any
untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the
statements contained therein or in the Loan Documents not misleading. After due
inquiry by the Borrowers, there is no known fact that any Company has not disclosed to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders that has or is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.
112

investment company or a company controlled by an investment company within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or (b) subject to any foreign, federal, state or local

available to it in connection with any breach of a representation and warranty made by Seller under
the Target Company Acquisition Agreements.

each term is defined in the Subordinated Indenture) exists, nor will any such Default or Event of
Default exist under the Subordinated Indenture (or note or other agreement executed in connection

sets forth, as of the Closing Date, all of the Credit Facilities (as defined in the Subordinated
Indenture); (c) all of the Obligations constitute Senior Indebtedness, Guarantor Senior
Indebtedness, Designated Senior Indebtedness, and Designated Guarantor Senior Indebtedness (as
each term is defined in the Subordinated Indenture); and (d) except for the Secured Obligations, no
other Indebtedness of the Companies constitutes Designated Senior Indebtedness or Designated
Guarantor Senior Indebtedness (as each term is defined in the Subordinated Indenture).

any begin to exist immediately after the execution and delivery hereof.

moneys were received and Collections were made (except for any necessary endorsements) whether by
cash or check. All amounts deposited in the Concentration Account from the Lockbox or any other

Dominion Period, the Administrative Agent shall transfer funds from the Concentration Account to
the Cash Collateral Account on a daily basis, and (ii) other than during a Cash Dominion Period,
the Administrative Agent shall transfer funds from the Concentration Account to the Operating

other than the Administrative Agent.
(d) Operating Account. GSCNY, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, shall maintain,
in its name, an Operating Account with the Administrative Agent, into which the Administrative
Agent shall, (i) from time to time, deposit proceeds of the Revolving Loans made to the Borrowers
for use by the Companies in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.18 hereof, and (ii) other
than during a Cash Dominion Period, transfer funds from the Concentration Account on a daily basis
for use by the Companies in their sole discretion. Unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative
Agent and the Borrowers, any Revolving Loan requested by the Administrative Borrower and made under
this Agreement shall be deposited into the Operating Account. During a Cash Dominion Period, the
Credit Parties shall not accumulate or maintain cash in the Operating Account or payroll or other
such accounts, as of any date of determination, in excess of checks outstanding against the
Controlled Disbursement Account (or Controlled Disbursement Accounts) and other deposit accounts
approved by the Administrative Agent (such as medical benefit accounts, flexible spending accounts
and automated clearing house accounts) as of that date, and amounts necessary to meet minimum
balance requirements.
114
(e) Controlled Disbursement Accounts. The Credit Parties shall maintain one or more
Controlled Disbursement Accounts with the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the
Lenders. The Borrowers shall base their requests for Revolving Loans on, among other things, the
daily balance of the Controlled Disbursement Account (or Controlled Disbursement Accounts). During
a Cash Dominion Period, the Credit Parties shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Company, to
maintain cash in any Controlled Disbursement Account, as of any date of determination, in excess of
checks outstanding against such account as of that date, and amounts necessary to meet minimum
balance requirements.
(f) Lockbox and Security Accounts. The Lockbox established pursuant to the Lockbox
agreement, the Concentration Account, the Cash Collateral Account, the Operating Account and the
Controlled Disbursement Accounts shall be Security Accounts, with all cash, checks and other
similar items of payment in such accounts securing payment of the Secured Obligations.
(g) Costs of Collection. All reasonable costs of collection of the Accounts of the
Credit Parties, including out-of-pocket expenses, administrative and record-keeping costs,
reasonable attorneys fees, and all service charges and costs related to the establishment and
maintenance of the Security Accounts shall be the sole responsibility of the Borrowers, whether the
same are incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties each
hereby indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent harmless from and against any loss or damage
with respect to any deposits made in the Security Accounts that are dishonored or returned for any
reason. If any deposits are dishonored or returned unpaid for any reason, the Administrative
Agent, in its sole discretion, may charge the amount thereof against the Cash Collateral Account or
any other Security Account or other Deposit Account of the Credit Parties. The Administrative
Agent shall not be liable for any loss or damage resulting from any error, omission, failure or
negligence on the part of the Administrative Agent, except losses or damages resulting from the
Administrative Agents own gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(h) Return of Funds. Upon the payment in full of the Secured Obligations (other than
continuing indemnification obligations) and the termination of the Commitment hereunder, (i) the
Administrative Agents security interests and other rights in funds in the Security Accounts shall
terminate, (ii) all rights to such funds shall revert to the Credit Parties, as applicable, and
(iii) the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrowers expense, take such steps as the
Administrative Borrower may reasonably request to evidence the termination of such security
interests and to effect the return to the Credit Parties of such funds.
(i) Attorney-in-Fact to Endorse Documents. The Administrative Agent, or the
Administrative Agents designated agent, is hereby constituted and appointed attorney-in-fact for
each Credit Party with authority and power to endorse after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, or during a Cash Dominion Period, any and all instruments,
documents, and chattel paper (consistent with this Agreement and the Master Agreement) upon the
failure of such Credit Party to do so. Such authority and power, being coupled with an interest,
shall be (i) irrevocable until all of the Secured Obligations are paid, (ii) exercisable by the
Administrative Agent at any time and without any request upon any Credit Party by the
Administrative Agent to so endorse, and (iii) exercisable in the name of the Administrative Agent
or any Credit Party. Each Credit Party hereby waives presentment, demand, notice of
dishonor, protest, notice of protest, and any and all other similar notices with respect thereto,
regardless of the form of any endorsement thereof. The Administrative Agent shall not be bound or
obligated to take any action to preserve any rights therein against prior parties thereto.
115
(j) Cash Management at a Lender other than the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding
anything in this Section 7.1 to the contrary, the Borrowers may establish a cash management system
with a Lender other than the Administrative Agent (an Alternative Cash Management System), so
long as (i) such Alternative Cash Management System is in substantially the same form as the cash
management system described in subparts (a) through (e) of this Section 7.1 and is otherwise in
form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and (ii) each Deposit Account
established as part of such Alternative Cash Management System shall be subject to a Deposit
Account Control Agreement (prepared by, and in form and substance satisfactory to, the
Administrative Agent) in favor of the Administrative Agent. If the Borrowers establish an
Alternative Cash Management System pursuant to this Section 7.1(j), the Administrative Agent, on
behalf of the other Lenders, the Lender providing such Alternative Cash Management Services and the
Borrowers may, without the consent of any other Lender, enter into an amendment to this Agreement
(a Alternative Cash Management System Amendment) to effect such amendments to this Agreement as
may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect
the provisions of this Section 7.1(j) and the transition of the cash management services from the
Administrative Agent to such other Lender. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the
Administrative Agent to execute and deliver an Alternative Cash Management System Amendment on
behalf of such Lender.
Section 7.2. Collections and Receipt of Proceeds by the Administrative Agent.
Each Credit Party hereby constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent, or the Administrative
Agents designated agent, as such Borrowers attorney-in-fact to exercise, at any time, all or any
of the following powers which, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable until the
complete and full payment of all of the Secured Obligations:
(a) to receive, retain, acquire, take, endorse, assign, deliver, accept, and deposit, in the
name of the Administrative Agent or such Credit Party (consistent with this Agreement and the
Master Agreement), any and all of such Credit Partys cash, instruments, chattel paper, documents,
Proceeds of Accounts, Proceeds of Inventory, collection of Accounts, and any other writings
relating to any of the Collateral. Each Credit Party hereby waives presentment, demand, notice of
dishonor, protest, notice of protest, and any and all other similar notices with respect thereto,
regardless of the form of any endorsement thereof. The Administrative Agent shall not be bound or
obligated to take any action to preserve any rights therein against prior parties thereto;
(b) to transmit to Account Debtors, on any or all of such Credit Partys Accounts, after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, notice of assignment to the Administrative Agent, for the
benefit of the Lenders, thereof and the security interest therein, and to request from such Account
Debtors at any time, in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Credit Party, information
concerning such Borrowers Accounts and the amounts owing thereon;
116
(c) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, to transmit to purchasers of any or all of
such Credit Partys Inventory, notice of the Administrative Agents security interest therein, and
to request from such purchasers at any time, in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Credit
Party, information concerning such Credit Partys Inventory and the amounts owing thereon by such
purchasers;
(d) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, to notify and require Account Debtors on such
Credit Partys Accounts and purchasers of such Credit Partys Inventory to make payment of their
indebtedness directly to the Administrative Agent;
(e) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, to enter into or assent to such amendment,
compromise, extension, release or other modification of any kind of, or substitution for, the
Accounts, or any thereof, as the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem to be
advisable;
(f) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, to enforce the Accounts or any thereof, or
any other Collateral, by suit or otherwise, to maintain any such suit or other proceeding in the
name of the Administrative Agent or one or more Credit Parties, and to withdraw any such suit or
other proceeding. The Credit Parties agree to lend every assistance requested by the
Administrative Agent in respect of the foregoing, all at no cost or expense to the Administrative
Agent and including, without limitation, the furnishing of such witnesses and of such records and
other writings as the Administrative Agent may require in connection with making legal proof of any
Account. The Credit Parties agree to reimburse the Administrative Agent in full for all court
costs and attorneys fees and every other cost, expense or liability, if any, incurred or paid by
the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, which obligation of the Credit Parties
shall constitute Obligations, shall be secured by the Collateral and shall bear interest, until
paid, at the Default Rate;
(g) to take or bring, in the name of the Administrative Agent or such Credit Party, all steps,
actions, suits, or proceedings deemed by the Administrative Agent necessary or desirable to effect
the receipt, enforcement, and collection of the Collateral; and
(h) to accept all collections in any form relating to the Collateral, including remittances
that may reflect deductions, and to deposit the same into such Credit Partys Cash Collateral
Account or, at the option of the Administrative Agent, to apply them as a payment against the Loans
or any other Secured Obligations in accordance with this Agreement.
Section 7.3. Administrative Agents Authority Under Pledged Notes. For the better
protection of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder, each Credit Party, as
appropriate, has executed (or will execute, with respect to future Pledged Notes) an appropriate
endorsement on (or separate from) each Pledged Note and has deposited (or will deposit, with
respect to future Pledged Notes) such Pledged Note with the Administrative Agent, for the benefit
of the Lenders. Such Credit Party irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Administrative Agent,
for the benefit of the Lenders, to, following the occurrence and during the continuation of an
Event of Default, (a) ask for, demand, collect and receive all payments of principal of and
interest on the Pledged Notes;
117
(b) compromise
and settle any dispute arising in respect of the foregoing; (c) execute and deliver vouchers, receipts and acquittances in full
discharge of the foregoing; (d) exercise, in the Administrative Agents discretion, any right,
power or privilege granted to the holder of any Pledged Note by the provisions thereof including,
without limitation, the right to demand security or to waive any default thereunder; (e) endorse
such Credit Partys name to each check or other writing received by the Administrative Agent as a
payment or other proceeds of or otherwise in connection with any Pledged Note; (f) enforce delivery
and payment of the principal and/or interest on the Pledged Notes, in each case by suit or
otherwise as the Administrative Agent may desire; and (g) enforce the security, if any, for the
Pledged Notes by instituting foreclosure proceedings, by conducting public or other sales or
otherwise, and to take all other steps as the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, may deem
advisable in connection with the forgoing; provided, however, that nothing contained or implied
herein or elsewhere shall obligate the Administrative Agent to institute any action, suit or
proceeding or to make or do any other act or thing contemplated by this Section 7.3 or prohibit the
Administrative Agent from settling, withdrawing or dismissing any action, suit or proceeding or
require the Administrative Agent to preserve any other right of any kind in respect of the Pledged
Notes and the security, if any, therefor.
Section 7.4. Commercial Tort Claims. If any Credit Party shall at any time hold or
acquire a Commercial Tort Claim, such Credit Party shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent
thereof in a writing signed by such Credit Party, that sets forth the details thereof and grants to
the Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the Lenders) a Lien thereon and on the Proceeds
thereof, all upon the terms of this Agreement, with such writing to be prepared by and in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

covered by the proceeds of insurance and is not subject to dispute by the insurance provider);

required divestiture or any material properties, assets or business reasonably estimated to have a

ARTICLE IX. REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT
Notwithstanding any contrary provision or inference herein or elsewhere:
Section 9.1. Optional Defaults. If any Event of Default referred to in Section 8.1,
8.2, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, 8.7, 8.8, 8.9, 8.10, or 8.11 hereof shall occur, the Administrative Agent
may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, and shall, at the written request of the Required
Lenders, give written notice to the Borrowers to:
(a) terminate the Commitment, if not previously terminated, and, immediately upon such
election, the obligations of the Lenders, and each thereof, to make any further Loan, and the
obligation of the Fronting Lenders to issue any Letter of Credit, immediately shall be terminated;
and/or
(b) accelerate the maturity of all of the Obligations (if the Obligations are not already due
and payable), whereupon all of the Obligations shall become and thereafter be immediately due and
payable in full without any presentment or demand and without any further or other notice of any
kind, all of which are hereby waived by each Borrower.
Section 9.2. Automatic Defaults. If any Event of Default referred to in Section 8.12
hereof shall occur:
(a) all of the Commitment shall automatically and immediately terminate, if not previously
terminated, and no Lender thereafter shall be under any obligation to grant any further Loan, nor
shall the Fronting Lenders be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit; and
121
(b) the principal of and interest then outstanding on all of the Loans, and all of the other
Obligations, shall thereupon become and thereafter be immediately due and payable in full (if the
Obligations are not already due and payable), all without any presentment, demand or notice of any
kind, which are hereby waived by each Borrower.
Section 9.3. Letters of Credit. If the maturity of the Obligations shall be
accelerated pursuant to Section 9.1 or 9.2 hereof, the Borrowers shall immediately deposit with the
Administrative Agent, as security for the obligations of the Borrowers and any Guarantor of Payment
to reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders for any then outstanding Letters of
Credit, cash equal to one hundred five percent (105%) of the sum of the aggregate undrawn balance
of any then outstanding Letters of Credit. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders are hereby
authorized, at their option, to deduct any and all such amounts from any deposit balances then
owing by any Lender (or any affiliate of such Lender, wherever located) to or for the credit or
account of any Company, as security for the obligations of the Borrowers and any Guarantor of
Payment to reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders for any then outstanding
Letters of Credit.
Section 9.4. Offsets. If there shall occur or exist any Event of Default referred to
in Section 8.12 hereof or if the maturity of the Obligations is accelerated pursuant to Section 9.1
or 9.2 hereof, each Lender shall have the right at any time to set off against, and to appropriate
and apply toward the payment of, any and all of the Obligations (other than Obligations under the
Alabama Metal Guaranty, the Diamond Perforated Guaranty and the Noll/Norwesco Guaranty) then owing
by the Borrowers or a Guarantor of Payment to such Lender (including, without limitation, any
participation purchased or to be purchased pursuant to Section 2.2(b), 2.2(c) or 9.5 hereof),
whether or not the same shall then have matured, any and all deposit (general or special) balances
and all other indebtedness then held or owing by such Lender (including, without limitation, by
branches and agencies or any affiliate of such Lender, wherever located) to or for the credit or
account of any Borrower or Guarantor of Payment, all without notice to or demand upon any Borrower
or any other Person, all such notices and demands being hereby expressly waived by each Borrower.
Section 9.5. Equalization Provisions.
(a) Equalization Within Commitments Prior to an Equalization Event. Each Revolving
Lender agrees with the other Revolving Lenders that, if it at any time shall obtain any Advantage
over the other Revolving Lenders, or any thereof, in respect of the Applicable Debt (except as to
Swing Loans and Letters of Credit prior to the Administrative Agents giving of notice to
participate and amounts under Article III hereof), such Revolving Lender, upon written request of
the Administrative Agent, shall purchase from the other Revolving Lenders, for cash and at par,
such additional participation in the Applicable Debt as shall be necessary to nullify the
Advantage. Each Term Lender agrees with the other Term Lenders that, if it at any time shall
obtain any Advantage over the other Term Lenders, or any thereof, in respect of the Applicable Debt
(except as to amounts under Article III hereof), such Term Lender shall purchase from the other
Term Lenders, for cash and at par, such additional participation in the Applicable Debt as shall be
necessary to nullify the Advantage.
122
(b) Equalization Between Commitments After an Equalization Event. After the
occurrence of an Equalization Event, each Lender agrees with the other Lenders that, if such Lender
at any time shall obtain any Advantage over the other Lenders or any thereof determined in respect
of the Obligations (including Swing Loans and Letters of Credit but excluding amounts under Article
III hereof) then outstanding, such Lender shall purchase from the other Lenders, for cash and at
par, such additional participation in the Obligations as shall be necessary to nullify the
Advantage in respect of the Obligations. For purposes of determining whether or not, after the
occurrence of an Equalization Event, an Advantage in respect of the Obligations shall exist, the
Administrative Agent shall, as of the date that the Equalization Event occurs:
(i) add the Revolving Credit Exposure and the Term Loan Exposure to determine the
equalization maximum amount (the Equalization Maximum Amount); and
(ii) determine an equalization percentage (the Equalization Percentage) for each
Lender by dividing the aggregate amount of its Lender Credit Exposure by the Equalization
Maximum Amount.
After the date of an Equalization Event, the Administrative Agent shall determine whether an
Advantage exists among the Lenders by using the Equalization Percentage. Such determination shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.
(c) Recovery of Amount. If any such Advantage resulting in the purchase of an
additional participation as set forth in subsection (a) or (b) hereof shall be recovered in whole
or in part from the Lender receiving the Advantage, each such purchase shall be rescinded, and the
purchase price restored (but without interest unless the Lender receiving the Advantage is required
to pay interest on the Advantage to the Person recovering the Advantage from such Lender) ratably
to the extent of the recovery.
(d) Application and Sharing of Set-Off Amounts. Each Lender further agrees with the
other Lenders that, if it at any time shall receive any payment for or on behalf of a Borrower on
any Indebtedness owing by such Borrower to that Lender (whether by voluntary payment, by
realization upon security, by reason of offset of any deposit or other Indebtedness, by
counterclaim or cross action, by enforcement of any right under any Loan Document, or otherwise),
it shall apply such payment first to any and all Indebtedness owing by such Borrower to that Lender
pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any participation purchased or to be
purchased pursuant to this Section 9.5 or any other section of this Agreement). Each Credit Party
agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from the other Lenders, or any thereof,
pursuant to this Section 9.5 may exercise all of its rights of payment (including the right of
set-off) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of
such Credit Party in the amount of such participation.
123
Section 9.6. Collateral. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall at all times
have the rights and remedies of a secured party under the U.C.C., in addition to the rights and
remedies of a secured party provided elsewhere within this Agreement, in any other Related Writing
executed by any Borrower or otherwise provided in law or equity. Upon the occurrence
of an Event of Default and at all times thereafter, the Administrative Agent may require the
Borrowers to assemble the Collateral, which each Borrower agrees to do, and make it available to
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at a reasonably convenient place to be designated by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may, with or without notice to or demand upon such
Borrower and with or without the aid of legal process, make use of such force as may be necessary
to enter any premises where the Collateral, or any thereof, may be found and to take possession
thereof (including anything found in or on the Collateral that is not specifically described in
this Agreement, each of which findings shall be considered to be an accession to and a part of the
Collateral) and for that purpose may pursue the Collateral wherever the same may be found, without
liability for trespass or damage caused thereby to such Borrower. After any delivery or taking of
possession of the Collateral, or any thereof, pursuant to this Agreement, then, with or without
resort to any Borrower personally or any other Person or property, all of which each Borrower
hereby waives, and upon such terms and in such manner as the Administrative Agent may deem
advisable, the Administrative Agent, in its discretion, may sell, assign, transfer and deliver any
of the Collateral at any time, or from time to time. No prior notice need be given to any Borrower
or to any other Person in the case of any sale of Collateral that the Administrative Agent
determines to be perishable or to be declining speedily in value or that is customarily sold in any
recognized market, but in any other case the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrowers not
fewer than ten days prior notice of either the time and place of any public sale of the Collateral
or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition thereof is to be made.
Each Borrower waives advertisement of any such sale and (except to the extent specifically required
by the preceding sentence) waives notice of any kind in respect of any such sale. At any such
public sale, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may purchase the Collateral, or any part
thereof, free from any right of redemption, all of which rights each Borrower hereby waives and
releases. After deducting all Related Expenses, and after paying all claims, if any, secured by
Liens having precedence over this Agreement, the Administrative Agent may apply the net proceeds of
each such sale to or toward the payment of the Secured Obligations, whether or not then due, in
such order and by such division as the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may deem
advisable. Any excess, to the extent permitted by law, shall be paid to the Borrowers, and each
Borrower shall remain liable for any deficiency. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall at
all times have the right to obtain new appraisals of any Borrower or the Collateral, the cost of
which shall be paid by the Borrowers.
Section 9.7. Administrative Agents Rights to Occupy and Use Property of Credit
Parties.
(a) After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and as part of an
exercise of remedies by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent
shall have the right to enter upon and into, and take possession of, all or such part or parts of
the properties of the Credit Parties, including lands, plants, buildings, Equipment, Inventory and
other property as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative
Agent, to permit or enable the Administrative Agent, or the Administrative Agents designee, to
manufacture, produce, process, store or sell or complete the manufacture, production, processing,
storing or sale of all or any part of the Collateral, as the Administrative Agent may elect, and to
use and operate said properties for said purposes and for
such length of time as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or appropriate for such purposes
without the payment of any compensation to any Credit Party therefor.
124
(b) The Administrative Agent is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without
charge, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and as part of an
exercise of remedies by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, all of each Credit
Partys property, including, without limitation, all of such Credit Partys labels, trademarks,
copyrights, patents and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to
the Collateral, in completing production of, advertising for sale and selling any Collateral, and
such Credit Partys rights under all licenses and all franchise agreements shall inure to the
Administrative Agents benefit until the Secured Obligations are paid in full.
Section 9.8. Other Remedies. The remedies in this Article IX are in addition to, not
in limitation of, any other right, power, privilege, or remedy, either in law, in equity, or
otherwise, to which the Lenders may be entitled. The Administrative Agent shall exercise the

Lender shall act independently with respect thereto, except as otherwise specifically set forth in
this Agreement.

ARTICLE X. THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
The Lenders authorize KeyBank and KeyBank hereby agrees to act as agent for the Lenders in
respect of this Agreement upon the terms and conditions set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, and
upon the following terms and conditions:
Section 10.1. Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints
and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise
such powers hereunder as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together
with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of
its affiliates, directors, officers, attorneys or employees shall (a) be liable for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder or in connection herewith, except for its or
their own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final judgment of a court of
competent jurisdiction), or be responsible in any manner to any of the Lenders for the
effectiveness, enforceability, genuineness, validity or due execution of this Agreement or any
other Loan Documents, (b) be under any obligation to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to
the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions hereof or thereof on the
part of the Borrowers or any other Company, or the financial condition of the Borrowers or any
other Company, or (c) be liable to any of the Companies for consequential damages resulting from
any breach of contract, tort or other wrong in connection with the negotiation,
126
documentation, administration or collection of the Loans or Letters of Credit or any of the Loan
Documents. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any
other Loan Document, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility except
those expressly set forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any
fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or any other
Loan Document or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term agent herein and in other Loan Documents with
reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or
express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is
used merely as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an
administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.
Section 10.2. Note Holders. The Administrative Agent may treat the payee of any Note
as the holder thereof (or, if there is no Note, the holder of the interest as reflected on the
books and records of the Administrative Agent) until written notice of transfer shall have been
filed with the Administrative Agent, signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.
Section 10.3. Consultation With Counsel. The Administrative Agent may consult with
legal counsel selected by the Administrative Agent and shall not be liable for any action taken or
suffered in good faith by the Administrative Agent in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.
Section 10.4. Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be under any duty to
examine into or pass upon the validity, effectiveness, genuineness or value of any Loan Document or
any other Related Writing furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith or the value of any
collateral obtained hereunder, and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to assume that the
same are valid, effective and genuine and what they purport to be.
Section 10.5. Administrative Agent and Affiliates. KeyBank and its affiliates may
make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity
interests in and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting
or other business with the Companies and Affiliates as though KeyBank were not the Administrative
Agent hereunder and without notice to or consent of any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that,
pursuant to such activities, KeyBank or its affiliates may receive information regarding any
Company or any Affiliate (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations
in favor of such Company or such Affiliate) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be
under no obligation to provide such information to other Lenders. With respect to Loans and
Letters of Credit (if any), KeyBank and its affiliates shall have the same rights and powers under
this Agreement as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though KeyBank were not the
Administrative Agent, and the terms Lender and Lenders include KeyBank and its affiliates, to
the extent applicable, in their individual capacities.
127
Section 10.6. Knowledge or Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall not be
deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default unless
the Administrative Agent has received written notice from a Lender or the Administrative Borrower
referring to this Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and stating that such
notice is a notice of default. In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a
notice, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders. The Administrative
Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall be
reasonably directed by the Required Lenders (or, if so specified by this Agreement, all Lenders);
provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking
such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable, in its
discretion, for the protection of the interests of the Lenders.
Section 10.7. Action by Administrative Agent. Subject to the other terms and
conditions hereof, so long as the Administrative Agent shall be entitled, pursuant to Section 10.6
hereof, to assume that no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to use its discretion with respect to exercising or
refraining from exercising any rights that may be vested in it by, or with respect to taking or
refraining from taking any action or actions that it may be able to take under or in respect of,
this Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall incur no liability under or in respect of this
Agreement by acting upon any notice, certificate, warranty or other paper or instrument believed by
it to be genuine or authentic or to be signed by the proper party or parties, or with respect to
anything that it may do or refrain from doing in the reasonable exercise of its judgment, or that
may seem to it to be necessary or desirable in the premises. Without limiting the foregoing, no
Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of
the Administrative Agents acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the
instructions of the Required Lenders.
Section 10.8. Release of Collateral or Guarantor of Payment. In the event of a
transfer of assets permitted by Section 5.12 hereof (or otherwise permitted pursuant to this
Agreement) where the proceeds of such transfer are applied in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement to the extent required to be so applied, or in the event of a merger, consolidation,
dissolution or similar event permitted pursuant to this Agreement, the Administrative Agent, at the
request and expense of the Borrowers, is hereby authorized by the Lenders to (a) release the
relevant Collateral from this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (b) release a Guarantor of
Payment in connection with such permitted transfer or event, and (c) duly assign, transfer and
deliver to the affected Person (without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such
Collateral as is then (or has been) so transferred or released and as may be in possession of the
Administrative Agent and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Agreement.
Section 10.9. Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may execute any of its
duties under this Agreement or any other Loan Document by or through agents, employees or
attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts
concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in
the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final judgment of a court
of competent jurisdiction.
128
Section 10.10. Indemnification of Administrative Agent. The Lenders agree to
indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrowers) ratably,
according to their respective Overall Commitment Percentages, from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses
(including attorneys fees and expenses) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may
be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent in its capacity as agent in
any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any action taken
or omitted by the Administrative Agent with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys fees and
expenses) or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agents gross negligence or willful
misconduct as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or from any
action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent in any capacity other than as agent under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document. No action taken in accordance with the directions of the
Required Lenders shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes
of this Section 10.10. The undertaking in this Section 10.10 shall survive repayment of the Loans,
cancellation of the Notes, if any, expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit, termination
of the Commitment, any foreclosure under, or modification, release or discharge of, any or all of
the Loan Documents, termination of this Agreement and the resignation or replacement of the agent.
Section 10.11. Successor Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as agent
hereunder by giving not fewer than thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Administrative
Borrower and the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent shall resign under this Agreement, then
either (a) the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent for the
Lenders (with the consent of the Administrative Borrower so long as an Event of Default does not
exist and which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), or (b) if a successor agent shall not
be so appointed and approved within the thirty (30) day period following the Administrative Agents
notice to the Lenders of its resignation, then the Administrative Agent shall appoint a successor
agent that shall serve as agent until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor agent.
If no successor agent has accepted appointment as the Administrative Agent by the date that is
thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agents notice of resignation, the retiring
Administrative Agents resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective, and the Lenders
(or other appropriate holders of the Secured Obligations) shall assume and perform all of the
duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders
appoint a successor agent as provided for above. Upon its appointment, such successor agent shall
succeed to the rights, powers and duties as agent, and the term Administrative Agent means such
successor effective upon its appointment, and the former agents rights, powers and duties as agent
shall be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former agent or
any of the parties to this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agents resignation as the
Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article X shall inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents.
129
Section 10.12. Fronting Lender. Each Fronting Lender shall act on behalf of the
Lenders with respect to any Letters of Credit issued by such Fronting Lender and the documents
associated therewith. Such Fronting Lender shall have all of the benefits and immunities (a)
provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article X with respect to any acts taken or omissions
suffered by each Fronting Lender in connection with the Letters of Credit and the applications and
agreements for letters of credit pertaining to such Letters of Credit as fully as if the term
Administrative Agent, as used in this Article X, included such Fronting Lender with respect to
such acts or omissions, and (b) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect to such
Fronting Lender.
Section 10.13. Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall act on behalf of the
Lenders with respect to any Swing Loans. The Swing Line Lender shall have all of the benefits and
immunities (a) provided to the Administrative Agent in this Article X with respect to any acts
taken or omissions suffered by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the Swing Loans as fully as
if the term Administrative Agent, as used in this Article X, included the Swing Line Lender with
respect to such acts or omissions, and (b) as additionally provided in this Agreement with respect
to the Swing Line Lender.
Section 10.14. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the
pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, (a) the
Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be due and
payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the
Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on any Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered,
by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to (i) file and prove a claim for the whole amount
of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, and all other Obligations
that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in
order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative
Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent) allowed in such judicial proceedings, and (ii) collect and receive any monies
or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and (b) any
custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any
such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the
Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its
agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt
on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent to
vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.
130
Section 10.15. No Reliance on Administrative Agents Customer Identification Program.
Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such Lender, nor any of its affiliates,
participants or assignees, may rely on the Administrative Agent to carry out such Lenders or its
affiliates, participants or assignees customer identification program, or other obligations
required or imposed under or pursuant to the Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder, including
the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or replaced, the CIP
Regulations), or any other anti-terrorism law, including any programs involving any of the
following items relating to or in connection with the Borrowers, their respective Affiliates or
agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder: (a) any identity verification procedures,
(b) any record keeping, (c) any comparisons with government lists, (d) any customer notices or (e)
any other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other laws.
Section 10.16. Delivery of Certain Financial Information. The Administrative Agent
shall make available to the Lenders, promptly after receipt thereof, the financial information
required to be provided by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Sections 4.3 and
5.3 hereof.
Section 10.17. Other Agents. The Administrative Agent shall have the continuing
right (subject to the titles awarded on the Closing Date) from time to time to designate one or
more Lenders (or its or their affiliates) as syndication agent, co-syndication agent,
documentation agent, co-documentation agent, book runner, lead arranger, arrangers or
other designations for purposes hereof, but (a) any such designation shall have no substantive
effect, and (b) any such Lender and its affiliates shall have no additional powers, duties,
responsibilities or liabilities as a result thereof.
ARTICLE XI. GUARANTY
Section 11.1. Guaranty by Borrowers. The Borrowers hereby unconditionally guarantee,
for the benefit of the Designated Hedge Creditors, all of the Designated Hedge Obligations owing to
a Lender (or an entity that is an affiliate of a then existing Lender). Upon failure by any Credit
Party to pay punctually any of the Designated Hedge Obligations owing to a Lender (or an entity
that is an affiliate of a then existing Lender), the Borrowers shall forthwith on demand by the
Administrative Agent pay the amount not so paid at the place and in the currency and otherwise in
the manner specified in this Agreement or any other applicable agreement or instrument.
Section 11.2. Additional Undertaking. As a separate, additional and continuing
obligation, the Borrowers unconditionally and irrevocably undertake and agree, for the benefit of
the Designated Hedge Creditors that, should any Designated Hedge Obligations not be recoverable
from any Borrower under Section 11.1 hereof for any reason whatsoever (including, without
limitation, by reason of any provision of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument
executed in connection therewith being or becoming void, unenforceable, or otherwise invalid under
any applicable law) then, notwithstanding any notice or knowledge thereof by any Lender, the
Administrative Agent, any of their respective affiliates, or any other Person, at any time, the
Borrowers as sole, original and independent obligors, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, will
make payment to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Designated Hedge Creditors, of all
such obligations not so recoverable by way of full indemnity, in such currency and otherwise in
such manner as is provided in the Loan Documents or any other applicable agreement or instrument.
131
Section 11.3. Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the Borrowers under this
Article XI shall be unconditional and absolute and, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, shall not be released, discharged or otherwise affected by the occurrence, one or more
times, of any of the following:
(a) any extension, renewal, settlement, compromise, waiver or release in respect to the
Designated Hedge Obligations under any agreement or instrument, by operation of law or otherwise;
(b) any modification or amendment of or supplement to this Agreement, any Note, any other Loan
Document, or any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any Designated Hedge Obligation;
(c) any release, non-perfection or invalidity of any direct or indirect security for the
Designated Hedge Obligations under any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any
Designated Hedge Obligation;
(d) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of any Credit Party or other
Company or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization or other similar proceeding affecting any
Credit Party or other Company or its assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation
of any Credit Party or other Company contained in any agreement or instrument evidencing or
relating to any of the Designated Hedge Obligations;
(e) the existence of any claim, set-off or other rights that the Borrowers may have at any
time against any other Credit Party, the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any affiliate of any
Lender or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or any unrelated transactions;
(f) any invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against any other Credit Party, for any
reason, of any agreement or instrument evidencing or relating to any of the Designated Hedge
Obligations, or any provision of applicable law or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by
any Credit Party of any of the Designated Hedge Obligations; or
(g) any other act or omission of any kind by any other Credit Party, the Administrative Agent,
any Lender or any other Person, or any other circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the
provisions of this Article XI, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of the Borrowers
obligations under this Article XI other than the irrevocable payment in full of all of the
Designated Hedge Obligations.
Section 11.4. Borrowers Obligations to Remain in Effect; Restoration.
(a) the Borrowers obligations under this Article XI shall remain in full force and effect
until the Commitment shall have terminated, and the principal of and interest on the Loans and
Designated Hedge Obligations, and all other amounts payable by the Borrowers, any other Credit
Party or other Company, under the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument evidencing or
132
relating
to any of the Designated Hedge Obligations, shall have been paid in full; provided that, if the Commitment shall have been terminated and all of the Obligations paid in
full, then, if any obligations shall remain outstanding under the Designated Hedge Agreements, then
the Borrowers shall cash collateralize, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent, such obligations based on the net termination value of such Designated Hedge Agreements on
such termination date.
(b) If at any time any payment of any of the Designated Hedge Obligations is rescinded or must
be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Credit
Party, the Borrowers obligations under this Article XI with respect to such payment shall be
reinstated at such time as though such payment had been due but not made at such time.
Section 11.5. Certain Waivers. The Borrowers irrevocably waive acceptance hereof,
presentment, demand, protest and any notice not provided for herein, as well as any requirement
that at any time any action be taken by any Person against any other Credit Party or any other
Person, or against any collateral or guaranty of any other Person.
Section 11.6. Subrogation. Until the indefeasible payment in full of all of the
Obligations and the termination of the Commitments hereunder, the Borrowers shall have no rights,
by operation of law or otherwise, upon making any payment under this Article XI to be subrogated to
the rights of the payee against any other Credit Party with respect to such payment or otherwise to
be reimbursed, indemnified or exonerated by any such Credit Party in respect thereof.
Section 11.7. Effect of Stay. In the event that acceleration of the time for payment
of any amount payable by any Credit Party under any of the Designated Hedge Obligations is stayed
upon insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of such Credit Party, all such amounts otherwise
subject to acceleration under the terms of any applicable agreement or instrument evidencing or
relating to any of the Designated Hedge Obligations shall nonetheless be payable by the Borrowers
under this Article XI forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent.
Section 11.8. Effect of Breach of Article XI. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement to the contrary, if any Borrower shall fail or omit to perform and observe any agreement
or other provision set forth in this Article XI, such failure or omission shall not be a Default or
Event of Default hereunder unless such failure or omission would constitute a Default or Event of
Default hereunder independent of its obligations under this Article XI.
ARTICLE XII. MISCELLANEOUS
Section 12.1. Lenders Independent Investigation. Each Lender, by its signature to
this Agreement, acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent has made no representation or
warranty, express or implied, with respect to the creditworthiness, financial condition, or any
other condition of any Company or with respect to the statements contained in any information
memorandum furnished in connection herewith or in any other oral or written communication between
the Administrative Agent and such Lender.
133
Each
Lender represents that it has made and shall continue to make its own independent investigation of the creditworthiness, financial
condition and affairs of the Companies in connection with the extension of credit hereunder, and
agrees that the Administrative Agent has no duty or responsibility, either initially or on a
continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other information with respect thereto
(other than such notices as may be expressly required to be given by the Administrative Agent to
the Lenders hereunder), whether coming into its possession before the first Credit Event hereunder
or at any time or times thereafter. Each Lender further represents that it has reviewed each of
the Loan Documents.
Section 12.2. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies. No omission or course of dealing on
the part of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the holder of any Note (or, if there is no
Note, the holder of the interest as reflected on the books and records of the Administrative Agent)
in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents shall operate
as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy
hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and in
addition to any other rights, powers or privileges held under any of the Loan Documents or by
operation of law, by contract or otherwise.
Section 12.3. Amendments, Waivers and Consents.
(a) General Rule. No amendment, modification, termination, or waiver of any provision
of any Loan Document nor consent to any variance therefrom, shall be effective unless the same
shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders and then such waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.
(b) Exceptions to the General Rule. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a)
of this Section 12.3:
(i) Consent of Affected Lenders Required. No amendment, modification, waiver
or consent shall (A) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written
consent of such Lender, (B) extend the date scheduled for payment of any principal
(excluding mandatory prepayments) of or interest on the Loans or commitment fees payable
hereunder without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (C) reduce
the principal amount of any Loan, the stated rate of interest thereon (provided that the
institution of the Default Rate or post default interest and a subsequent removal of the
Default Rate or post default interest shall not constitute a decrease in interest rate
pursuant to this Section 12.3) or the stated rate of commitment fees payable hereunder,
without the consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (D) change the manner of pro
rata application of any payments made by the Borrowers to the Lenders hereunder, without the
consent of each Lender directly affected thereby, (E) increase the percentage advance rates
set forth in the definition of Borrowing Base contained in the Agreement, without the
consent of each Revolving Lender, (F) without the unanimous consent of the Lenders, change
any percentage voting requirement, voting rights, or the Required Lenders definition in this
Agreement, (G) without the unanimous consent of the Lenders, release the Borrowers or any
Guarantor of Payment or of any material amount
of collateral securing the Secured Obligations, except in connection with a transaction
specifically permitted hereunder, or (H) without the unanimous consent of the Lenders, amend
this Section 12.3 or Section 9.5 or 9.9 hereof.
134
(ii) Provisions Relating to Special Rights and Duties. No provision of this
Agreement affecting the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such shall be amended,
modified or waived without the consent of the Administrative Agent. No provision of this
Agreement relating to the rights or duties of a Fronting Lender in its capacity as such
shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of such Fronting Lender. No
provision of this Agreement relating to the rights or duties of the Swing Line Lender in its
capacity as such shall be amended, modified or waived without the consent of the Swing Line
Lender.
(c) Replacement of Non-Consenting Lender. If, in connection with any proposed
amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, the consent of all Lenders is required, but only the
consent of Required Lenders is obtained, (any Lender withholding consent as described in this
subsection being referred to as a Non-Consenting Lender), then, so long as the Administrative
Agent is not the Non-Consenting Lender, the Administrative Agent may (and shall, if requested by
the Borrowers), at the sole expense of the Borrowers, upon notice to such Non-Consenting Lender and
the Borrowers, require such Non-Consenting Lender to assign and delegate, without recourse (in
accordance with the restrictions contained in Section 12.10 hereof) all of its interests, rights
and obligations under this Agreement to a financial institution acceptable to the Administrative
Agent and the Borrowers that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender,
if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that such Non-Consenting Lender shall have received
payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon,
accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder, from such financial institution (to the
extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Administrative Borrower
(in the case of all other amounts, including any breakage compensation under Article III hereof).
(d) Generally. Notice of amendments, waivers or consents ratified by the Lenders
hereunder shall be forwarded by the Administrative Agent to all of the Lenders. Each Lender or
other holder of a Note, or if there is no Note, the holder of the interest as reflected on the
books and records of the Administrative Agent (or interest in any Loan or Letter of Credit) shall
be bound by any amendment, waiver or consent obtained as authorized by this Section 12.3,
regardless of its failure to agree thereto.
Section 12.4. Notices. All notices, requests, demands and other communications
provided for hereunder shall be in writing and, if to a Borrower, mailed or delivered to it,
addressed to it at the address specified on the signature pages of this Agreement, if to the
Administrative Agent or a Lender, mailed or delivered to it, addressed to the address of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender specified on the signature pages of this Agreement, or, as to
each party, at such other address as shall be designated by such party in a written notice to each
of the other parties. All notices, statements, requests, demands and other communications provided
for hereunder shall be deemed to be given or made when delivered (if received during a Business
Day, such Business Day, otherwise the
135
following
Business Day) or two Business Days after being deposited in the mails with postage prepaid by registered or certified mail, addressed
as aforesaid, or sent by facsimile or electronic communication, in each case with telephonic
confirmation of receipt. All notices hereunder shall not be effective until received. For
purposes of Article II hereof, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely on telephonic
instructions from any person that the Administrative Agent in good faith believes is an Authorized
Officer, and the Borrowers shall hold the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from any
loss, cost or expense resulting from any such reliance.
Section 12.5. Costs, Expenses and Documentary Taxes. The Borrowers agree to pay on
demand all reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and all reasonable Related
Expenses, including but not limited to (a) Protective Advances, (b) syndication, administration,
travel and out-of-pocket expenses, including but not limited to attorneys fees and expenses, of
the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation and closing of the Loan
Documents and the administration of the Loan Documents, and the collection and disbursement of all
funds hereunder and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, (c)
extraordinary expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the administration of the
Loan Documents and the other instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, and (d) the
reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of special counsel for the Administrative Agent, with
respect to the foregoing, and of local counsel, if any, who may be retained by said special counsel
with respect thereto. The Borrowers also agree to pay on demand all costs and expenses (including
Related Expenses) of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, including reasonable attorneys fees
and expenses, in connection with the restructuring or enforcement of the Obligations, this
Agreement or any Related Writing. In addition, the Borrowers shall pay any and all stamp,
transfer, documentary and other taxes, assessments, charges and fees payable or determined to be
payable in connection with the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, and the other
instruments and documents to be delivered hereunder, and agree to hold the Administrative Agent and
each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any
delay in paying or failure to pay such taxes or fees. All obligations provided for in this Section
12.5 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
Section 12.6. Indemnification. Each Borrower agrees to defend, indemnify and hold
harmless the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (and their respective affiliates, officers,
directors, attorneys, agents and employees) from and against any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including attorneys fees)
or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative
or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Lender or the Administrative Agent shall be designated
a party thereto) or any other claim by any Person relating to or arising out of any Loan Document
or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of the Loans or any of the Obligations, or any activities
of any Company or its Affiliates; provided that no Lender nor the Administrative Agent shall have
the right to be indemnified under this Section 12.6 for its own (or its respective affiliates,
officers, directors, attorneys, agents or employees) gross negligence or willful misconduct,
as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. All obligations provided
for in this Section 12.6 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
136
Section 12.7. Obligations Several; No Fiduciary Obligations. The obligations of the
Lenders hereunder are several and not joint. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action
taken by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders a partnership, association, joint venture or other entity. No
default by any Lender hereunder shall excuse the other Lenders from any obligation under this
Agreement; but no Lender shall have or acquire any additional obligation of any kind by reason of
such default. The relationship between the Borrowers and the Lenders with respect to the Loan
Documents and the Related Writings is and shall be solely that of debtors and creditors,
respectively, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary
obligation toward any Credit Party with respect to any such documents or the transactions
contemplated thereby.
Section 12.8. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, and by facsimile
or other electronic signature, each of which counterparts when so executed and delivered shall be
deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same
agreement.
Section 12.9. Binding Effect; Borrowers Assignment. This Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by each Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each
Lender and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and their respective successors and permitted assigns,
except that no Borrower shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and all of the Lenders.
Section 12.10. Lender Assignments.
(a) Assignments of Commitments. Each Lender shall have the right at any time or times
to assign to an Eligible Transferee (other than to a Lender that shall not be in compliance with
this Agreement), without recourse, all or a percentage of all of the following: (i) such Lenders
Commitment, (ii) all Loans made by that Lender, (iii) such Lenders Notes, and (iv) such Lenders
interest in any Letter of Credit or Swing Loan, and any participation purchased pursuant to Section
2.2(b) or (c) or Section 9.5 hereof.
(b) Prior Consent. No assignment may be consummated pursuant to this Section 12.10
without the prior written consent of the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent
(other than an assignment by any Lender to any affiliate of such Lender which affiliate is an
Eligible Transferee and either wholly-owned by a Lender or is wholly-owned by a Person that wholly
owns, either directly or indirectly, such Lender, or to another Lender), which consent of the
Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided
that (i) the consent of the Administrative Borrower shall not be required if, at the time of the
proposed assignment, any Default or Event of Default shall then exist and (ii) the Administrative
Borrower shall be deemed to have granted its consent unless the Administrative Borrower has
expressly objected to such assignment within five Business Days after notice thereof. Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any Lender may at any time make a
collateral assignment of all or any portion of its rights under the Loan Documents to a Federal
Reserve Bank, and no such assignment shall release such assigning Lender from its obligations
hereunder.
137
(c) Minimum Amount. Each such assignment shall be in a minimum amount of the lesser
of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) of the assignors Commitment and interest herein, or the
entire amount of the assignors Commitment and interest herein.
(d) Assignment Fee. Unless the assignment shall be to an affiliate of the assignor or
the assignment shall be due to merger of the assignor or for regulatory purposes, either the
assignor or the assignee shall remit to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, an
administrative fee of Three Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($3,500).
(e) Assignment Agreement. Unless the assignment shall be due to merger of the
assignor or a collateral assignment for regulatory purposes, the assignor shall (i) cause the
assignee to execute and deliver to the Administrative Borrower and the Administrative Agent an
Assignment Agreement, and (ii) execute and deliver, or cause the assignee to execute and deliver,
as the case may be, to the Administrative Agent such additional amendments, assurances and other
writings as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.
(f) Non-U.S. Assignee. If the assignment is to be made to an assignee that is
organized under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the United States or any state thereof, the
assignor Lender shall cause such assignee, at least five Business Days prior to the effective date
of such assignment, (i) to represent to the assignor Lender (for the benefit of the assignor
Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers) that under applicable law and treaties no taxes
will be required to be withheld by the Administrative Agent, the Borrowers or the assignor with
respect to any payments to be made to such assignee in respect of the Loans hereunder, (ii) to
furnish to the assignor Lender (and, in the case of any assignee registered in the Register (as
defined below), the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers) either U.S. Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8ECI, Form W-8IMY or U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, as applicable (wherein such
assignee claims entitlement to complete exemption from U.S. federal withholding tax on all payments
hereunder), and (iii) to agree (for the benefit of the assignor, the Administrative Agent and the
Borrowers) to provide to the assignor Lender (and, in the case of any assignee registered in the
Register, to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers) a new Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN, as
applicable, upon the expiration or obsolescence of any previously delivered form and comparable
statements in accordance with applicable U.S. laws and regulations and amendments duly executed and
completed by such assignee, and to comply from time to time with all applicable U.S. laws and
regulations with regard to such withholding tax exemption.
(g) Deliveries by Borrowers. Upon satisfaction of all applicable requirements
specified in subsections (a) through (f) above, the Borrowers shall execute and deliver (i) to the
Administrative Agent, the assignor and the assignee, any consent or release (of all or a portion of
the obligations of the assignor) required to be delivered by the Borrowers in connection with the
Assignment Agreement, and (ii) to the assignee, if requested, and the assignor, if applicable, an
appropriate Note or Notes. After delivery of the new Note or Notes, the assignors Note or
Notes, if any, being replaced shall be returned to the Administrative Borrower marked replaced.
138
(h) Effect of Assignment. Upon satisfaction of all applicable requirements set forth
in subsections (a) through (g) above, and any other condition contained in this Section 12.10, (i)
the assignee shall become and thereafter be deemed to be a Lender for the purposes of this
Agreement, (ii) the assignor shall be released from its obligations hereunder to the extent that
its interest has been assigned, (iii) in the event that the assignors entire interest has been
assigned, the assignor shall cease to be and thereafter shall no longer be deemed to be a Lender
and (iv) the signature pages hereto and Schedule 1 hereto shall be automatically amended,
without further action, to reflect the result of any such assignment.
(i) Administrative Agent to Maintain Register. The Administrative Agent shall
maintain at the address for notices referred to in Section 12.4 hereof a copy of each Assignment
Agreement delivered to it and a register (the Register) for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment of, and principal amount of the Loans owing to, each
Lender from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in the absence of
manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person
whose name is recorded in the Register as the owner of the Loan recorded therein for all purposes
of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or any Lender
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
Section 12.11. Sale of Participations. Any Lender may, in the ordinary course of its
commercial banking business and in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell participations
to one or more Eligible Transferees (each a Participant) in all or a portion of its rights or
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, all
or a portion of the Commitment and the Loans and participations owing to it and the Note, if any,
held by it); provided that:
(a) any such Lenders obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall
remain unchanged;
(b) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the
performance of such obligations;
(c) the parties hereto shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lenders rights and obligations under this Agreement and each of the other
Loan Documents;
(d) such Participant shall be bound by the provisions of Section 9.5 hereof, and the Lender
selling such participation shall obtain from such Participant a written confirmation of its
agreement to be so bound; and
(e) no Participant (unless such Participant is itself a Lender) shall be entitled to require
such Lender to take or refrain from taking action under this Agreement or under any
other Loan Document, except that such Lender may agree with such Participant that such Lender will
not, without such Participants consent, take action of the type described as follows:
139
(i) increase the portion of the participation amount of any Participant over the amount
thereof then in effect, or extend the Commitment Period, without the written consent of each
Participant affected thereby; or
(ii) reduce the principal amount of or extend the time for any payment of principal of
any Loan, or reduce the rate of interest or extend the time for payment of interest on any
Loan, or reduce the commitment fee, without the written consent of each Participant affected
thereby.
The Borrowers agree that any Lender that sells participations pursuant to this Section 12.11 shall
still be entitled to the benefits of Article III hereof, notwithstanding any such transfer;
provided that the obligations of the Borrowers shall not increase as a result of such transfer and
the Borrowers shall have no obligation to any Participant.
Section 12.12. Replacement of Affected Lenders. Each Lender agrees that, during the
time in which any Lender is an Affected Lender, the Administrative Agent shall have the right (and
the Administrative Agent shall, if requested by the Administrative Borrower), at the sole expense
of the Borrowers, upon notice to such Affected Lender and the Administrative Borrower, to require
that such Affected Lender assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with the
restrictions contained in Section 12.10 hereof), all of its interests, rights and obligations under
this Agreement to an Eligible Transferee, approved by the Administrative Borrower (unless an Event
of Default shall exist) and the Administrative Agent, that shall assume such obligations (which
assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that such Affected
Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the outstanding principal of its Loans,
accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts payable to it hereunder (recognizing
that any Affected Lender may have given up its rights under this Agreement to receive payment of
fees and other amounts pursuant to Section 2.7(f) and (g) hereof), from such Eligible Transferee
(to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Administrative
Borrower (in the case of all other amounts, including any breakage compensation under Article III
hereof).
Section 12.13. Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for
itself and not on behalf of any other party) hereby notifies the Credit Parties that, pursuant to
the requirements of the Patriot Act, such Lender and the Administrative Agent are required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Credit Parties, which information
includes the name and address of each of the Credit Parties and other information that will allow
such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Credit Parties in
accordance with the Patriot Act. Each Borrower shall provide, to the extent commercially
reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent or a Lender in order to assist the Administrative Agent or such Lender in
maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.
140
Section 12.14. Severability of Provisions; Captions; Attachments. Any provision of
this Agreement that shall be prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such
jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without
invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such
provision in any other jurisdiction. The several captions to sections and subsections herein are
inserted for convenience only and shall be ignored in interpreting the provisions of this
Agreement. Each schedule or exhibit attached to this Agreement shall be incorporated herein and
shall be deemed to be a part hereof.
Section 12.15. Investment Purpose. Each of the Lenders represents and warrants to
the Borrowers that it is entering into this Agreement with the present intention of acquiring any
Note issued pursuant hereto (or, if there is no Note, the interest as reflected on the books and
records of the Administrative Agent) for investment purposes only and not for the purpose of
distribution or resale, it being understood, however, that each Lender shall at all times retain
full control over the disposition of its assets.
Section 12.16. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, any Note and any other Loan
Document or other agreement, document or instrument attached hereto or executed in connection with
the Prior Credit Agreements (as such documents may have been amended or replaced) and on or as of
the Closing Date, integrate all of the terms and conditions mentioned herein or incidental hereto
and supersede all oral representations and negotiations and prior writings with respect to the
subject matter hereof.
Section 12.17. Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall hold
all Confidential Information in accordance with the customary procedures of the Administrative
Agent or such Lender for handling confidential information of this nature, and in accordance with
safe and sound banking practices. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent or any
Lender may in any event make disclosures of, and furnish copies of Confidential Information (a) to
another agent under this Agreement or another Lender; (b) when reasonably required by any bona fide
transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated transfer of any Loans or Commitment
or participation therein (provided that each such prospective transferee or participant shall have
an agreement for the benefit of the Borrowers with such prospective transferor Lender or
participant containing substantially similar provisions to those contained in this Section 12.17);
(c) to the parent corporation or other affiliates of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and
to their respective auditors and attorneys; and (d) as required or requested by any Governmental
Authority or representative thereof, or pursuant to legal process, provided, that, unless
specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, the Administrative Agent or such Lender,
as applicable, shall notify the chief financial officer of the Administrative Borrower of any
request by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof (other than any such request in
connection with an examination of the financial condition of the Administrative Agent or such
Lender by such Governmental Authority), and of any other request pursuant to legal process, for
disclosure of any such non-public information prior to disclosure of such Confidential Information.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent, each Lender,
the Borrowers and their Affiliates may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any
kind, the tax treatment and tax structure of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other
141
Loan
Documents and materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the Administrative Agent, any
Lender, the Borrowers or their Affiliates relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; it
being understood that this authorization is retroactively effective to the commencement of the
first discussions between or among any of the parties regarding the transactions contemplated
hereby and by the other Loan Documents. In no event shall the Administrative Agent or any Lender
be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by or on behalf of any Company. Each
Borrower hereby agrees that the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to comply with
the provisions of this Section 12.17 shall not relieve any Borrower of any of the obligations to
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Section 12.18. Limitations on Liability of the Fronting Lenders. The Borrowers
assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit
with respect to its use of such Letters of Credit. Neither any Fronting Lender nor any of its
officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for (a) the use that may be made of any Letter
of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b)
the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such
documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged;
(c) payment by a Fronting Lender against presentation of documents that do not comply with the
terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate
reference to such Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing
to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the account party on such Letter of Credit
shall have a claim against a Fronting Lender, and a Fronting Lender shall be liable to such account
party, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by such account party
that such account party proves were caused by (i) such Fronting Lenders willful misconduct or
gross negligence (as determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) in
determining whether documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms of such
Letter of Credit, or (ii) such Fronting Lenders willful failure to make lawful payment under any
Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of documentation strictly complying with the terms
and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, a
Fronting Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without
responsibility for further investigation.
Section 12.19. General Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by any Credit
Party, any Lender, the Administrative Agent, any Fronting Lender or any other Person against the
Administrative Agent, any Fronting Lender, or any other Lender or the affiliates, directors,
officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of them for any damages other than actual
compensatory damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of
liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the
Borrowers, each Lender, the Administrative Agent and each Fronting Lender hereby, to the fullest
extent permitted under applicable law, waive, release and agree not to sue or counterclaim upon any
such claim for any special, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether
or not known or suspected to exist in their favor. As of the Closing Date, each Credit Party
hereby waives and releases the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders, and their respective
directors, officers, employees, attorneys, affiliates and subsidiaries, from any and
all claims, offsets, defenses and counterclaims of which any Credit Party is aware, such waiver and
release being with full knowledge and understanding of the circumstances and effect thereof and
after having consulted legal counsel with respect thereto.
142
Section 12.20. No Duty. All attorneys, accountants, appraisers, consultants and
other professional persons (including the firms or other entities on behalf of which any such
Person may act) retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents shall have the right to act exclusively in the interest of the
Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and shall have no duty of disclosure, duty
of loyalty, duty of care, or other duty or obligation of any type or nature whatsoever to the
Borrowers, any other Companies, or to any other Person, with respect to any matters within the
scope of such representation or related to their activities in connection with such representation.
Each Borrower agrees, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, not to assert any claim or
counterclaim against any such persons with regard to such matters, all such claims and
counterclaims, now existing or hereafter arising, whether known or unknown, foreseen or
unforeseeable, being hereby waived, released and forever discharged.
Section 12.21. Legal Representation of Parties. The Loan Documents were negotiated
by the parties with the benefit of legal representation and any rule of construction or
interpretation otherwise requiring this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be construed or
interpreted against any party shall not apply to any construction or interpretation hereof or
thereof.
Section 12.22. Judgment Currency.
(a) This in an international transaction in which the obligations of the Credit Parties under
this Agreement to make payment to or for account of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in a
specified currency (Original Currency) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender or
recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or converted into any other currency (Judgment
Currency) except to the extent that such tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by
the Administrative Agent or such Lender of the full amount in Original Currency payable to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement.
(b) If the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, or any other holder of the
Obligations (the Applicable Creditor), obtains a judgment or judgments against any Credit Party
in respect of any sum adjudged to be due to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder or
under the Notes (the Judgment Amount) in a Judgment Currency other than the Original Currency,
the obligations of such Credit Party in connection with such judgment shall be discharged only to
the extent that (i) on the Business Day following receipt by the Applicable Creditor of any sum
adjudged to be so due in the Judgment Currency, such Applicable Creditor, in accordance with the
normal banking procedures in the relevant jurisdiction, can purchase the Original Currency with the
Judgment Currency, and (ii) if the amount of Original Currency so purchased is less than the amount
of Original Currency that could have been purchased with the Judgment Amount on the date or dates
the Judgment Currency was originally due and owing to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
hereunder (the Loss), such Credit Party or Borrower, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding
any such
143
judgment,
indemnifies the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, against such Loss. The Borrowers hereby agree to such
indemnification. For purposes of determining the equivalent in one currency of another currency as
provided in this Section 12.22, such amount shall include any premium and costs payable in
connection with the conversion into or from any currency. The obligations of the Credit Parties
contained in this Section 12.22 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of
all other amounts owing hereunder.
Section 12.23. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.
(a) Governing Law. This Agreement, each of the Notes and any Related Writing shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York and the respective
rights and obligations of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, and the Lenders shall be
governed by New York law, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.
(b) Submission to Jurisdiction. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably submits to the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York state or federal court sitting in New York County, New
York over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Obligations or
any Related Writing, and each Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such
action or proceeding may be heard and determined in such New York state or federal court. Each
Borrower, on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries, hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, any objection it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue in any
action or proceeding in any such court as well as any right it may now or hereafter have to remove
such action or proceeding, once commenced, to another court on the grounds of FORUM NON CONVENIENS
or otherwise. Each Borrower agrees that a final, non-appealable judgment in any such action or
proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment
or in any other manner provided by law.
Section 12.24. DESIGNATED SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS. THE INDEBTEDNESS EVIDENCED BY THIS
AGREEMENT, EACH OF THE NOTES, EACH OF THE SECURITY DOCUMENTS AND EACH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IS AND
SHALL AT ALL TIMES CONSTITUTE DESIGNATED SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE
SUBORDINATED INDENTURE. THE INDEBTEDNESS EVIDENCED BY THE GUARANTIES OF PAYMENT SHALL AT ALL TIMES
CONSTITUTE DESIGNATED GUARANTOR SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THE SUBORDINATED
INDENTURE.
[Remainder of page left intentionally blank]
144
JURY TRIAL WAIVER. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR
THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER
THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER
PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE OTHER PARTIES

THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

Credit Agreement as of the date first set forth above.

Exhibit 99.1
Gibraltar Industries Announces New Five-Year $235 Million Credit Facility
Buffalo, NY October 13, 2011
Gibraltar Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: ROCK) announced today that it has closed on a new $235 million
credit agreement which includes a $200 million senior secured revolving credit facility with a
five-year maturity as well as a $35 million term loan commitment. The new facility replaces a $200
million senior secured revolving credit facility that was due to expire in August 2012. There were
no draws on the revolver as of September 30, 2011.
In addition to the increase in the facility size, the new agreement will reduce Gibraltars cost of
borrowing and provide additional financial flexibility. The facility will be used for general
corporate purposes, including funding future acquisitions.
Ten banks participated in the transaction with KeyBank as Lead Arranger and Administrative Agent,
J.P. Morgan Chase Bank and Bank of America as Co-Syndication Agents, and M&T Bank, RBS Citizens and
HSBC Bank serving as Co-Documentation Agents.
We have successfully increased the size, reduced the cost and extended the term of our credit
agreement, said Kenneth Smith, Gibraltars Chief Financial Officer. We are very pleased to
continue to work with a group of banks that support our growth strategy. This new agreement
underscores our commitment to strengthen our balance sheet and enhance financial flexibility in
order to help execute on our growth strategy. We have reduced our net debt to $207 million as of
September 30, 2011, from a peak of $554 million reached in August 2007, as a result of strong cash
flow aided by cost-reduction initiatives, solid operating performance, and improved working capital
management.
